What not to say on a Zoom call or a conference call. That's a good way to start this episode. Hi and welcome to Something You Should Know.

So here is some great advice regarding things not to say on a Zoom call or a conference call where multiple people are present from different locations. The first thing not to say is, are we all on?

First of all, you can see who's on a Zoom call or a conference call, and no one really cares who's there or who isn't. It's just a waste of time. And who hasn't heard this? We'll just wait a few minutes for everyone else to get here. why they're late, let's start the meeting. And then when someone who is late shows up, they interrupt the meeting and say, sorry, I'm late.
