Mute yourself when not speaking
Background noise can be disruptive and hinder effective communication. Make sure to mute your
microphone when you're not speaking to minimize distractions. This small act of consideration
enhances the overall audio quality and allows everyone to focus on the speaker.

Notify others when you want to speak
Zoom's "raise your hand" feature is a great way to avoid the chaos of multiple people talking at
once. When you want to speak, simply raise your hand and the host will see that you have
something
to say. This will help to ensure that everyone gets a chance to contribute to the conversation
and that your ideas are heard.

Use non-verbal cues appropriately
In a physical meeting, you can rely on non-verbal cues like nodding, smiling, or hand gestures
to
indicate your agreement or understanding. Utilize the virtual equivalents in Zoom, such as the
"thumbs up" or "applause" reaction buttons, to express your reactions and actively participate
without interrupting the speaker.

Use the chat feature
The chat feature can be a great way to share information or ask questions during a Zoom meeting.
However, it's important to use it sparingly so that you don't disrupt the flow of the
conversation.
