What are the essential points to note while scheduling a meeting?

Scheduling a meeting may seem simple, but a few thoughtful steps can make all the difference in how smoothly things run. With Zoho Meeting, organizing a productive session becomes much easier when you plan. From picking the right time to sharing clear agendas, sharing the right links and materials to assigning a co-host and setting up reminders, small details will help everyone stay on track. Let’s look at some of the most important questions a host might have.

How do I make sure everyone knows what the meeting is about?

Use a clear and relevant title. Add a short agenda explaining what the meeting is about. It’s important that all participants know what the meeting is about so that they can prepare and stay focused during the meeting. This leads to more productive discussions, better decisions, and an efficient use of everyone’s time.

What’s the best way to avoid scheduling conflicts?

Always check participants’ availability beforehand. Zoho Meeting allows you to check participants’ calendars to avoid scheduling conflicts. If a meeting is happening between global participants, ensure that you choose a convenient time zone for everyone.

How can I help people remember to join?

Set up automatic email reminders while scheduling the meeting in Zoho Meeting. Ensure you have at least two emails for a meeting; one, when the meeting is scheduled, and the second, 30 minutes before the meeting. Additionally, you can also set up Zoho Cliq bots to notify you.

What if I need someone else to run the meeting or assist me during the meeting?

Assign a co-host when you schedule the meeting. That way, the meeting can continue even if you’re unavailable. Co-hosts will have all of the same privileges as a host.

How do I handle weekly or monthly meetings?

Use the recurring meeting feature in Zoho Meeting to schedule meetings at regular intervals over a period of time automatically. This will help you meet with your team regularly and eliminate the need for ad-hoc meetings.
