I did a remote meeting

And I actually stayed engaged.

For 3 hours for a writing workshop.

On skype with video.

It takes these things to be successful:

Being truly connected to the group (they must want me there)

Group actually asks me direct questions (And would do the same in person)

One person helps with turning the computer toward others during important 1 to 1 conversations

Be prepared for any technical difficulties; expect them but don’t let it slow down

Realize that not everything can be heard clearly and that’s ok

Because all of the above still happens in person. Regardless.
