First Ever Zoom Meeting

Roy

I’ve got to the age of 57 without ever doing a zoom meeting, this week saw my first ever meeting. I don’t think I will be doing another one.

I had to do a three hour speed awareness course online, the person hosting the course spoke to all nine participants privately, I told him I’m autistic and wanted to know if the other people will be able to see me and I them, I struggle with eye contact. Basically I just had to get on with it and there would only be a 10 minute break in the three hours.

The tech side of it took me a while to setup, after the three hours I was exhausted, I suppose it’s my fault for speeding, option B was three points and a £100 fine.
I don’t know how people do online meetings every day, sorry just venting.

  • Firstly the tech. side challenges me, as it asks about using microphones etc. When my son was at school during the pandemic we had meetings with staff via Google meet. On some occasions by the time it worked the 5 minute slot was nearly over. We have meetings this way at work too and again I often have sound problems. One large meeting I went to it took half the meeting whilst I found someone on the meeting to help me get in. However the plus point is I don't have to go in person.

    As for seeing people close up, most of us go on the picture rather than live mode at work.

    Well done for doing it.
