On top of that, your room needs to be clean, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the truly frustrating part is 9 times out of 10, you\u2019re not there to report anything you couldn\u2019t have sent via email. Most meetings take the form of announcements and updates with pockets of time for back and forth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means most of your time on a video conference call will be spent <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">listening<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fully dressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freshly showered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And a stomach <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">grumbling<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because you skipped breakfast to make it to the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg because working from home isn\u2019t a breeze.

You clock in, you work, you take a lunch, work some more, run to the bathroom, then clock out. The environment at work is a professional one so there is no goofing off there (generally). You\u2019ve got your assignments, an allotment of time to do them, and someone looking over your shoulder just to be sure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, your home is where you sleep, it\u2019s where you relax and unwind, and it\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">filled<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with distractions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means your home is one of the most difficult places to focus, and thus keeping yourself working and on task is going to be a challenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll Work Even Longer Days<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that separation of work and home I mentioned above? Well, that\u2019s gone when you start working from home. Responding to emails, Slack, pushing further on projects\u2014all of it is fair game when there is no \u201cquitting time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll Feel Disconnected and Out of the Loop<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s be real: a daily call isn\u2019t enough to truly feel in sync with the team. You\u2019ll have your marching orders but the synergy that comes from close quarters collaboration can\u2019t be replaced with a video call.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll Feel Invisible<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once that call ends it may be another day or more before you see one of your teammates again. That means that unless you\u2019re deeply in the mix with key leaders and decision-makers, you won\u2019t be sitting at the dinner table\u2014you\u2019ll be on the menu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re at home or in the office, you want your presence to be felt and remembered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a tool that can help&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dubb Returns a Personal Touch to Modern Communication<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This isn\u2019t a sell, I promise (the app is free).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re unfamiliar with the platform, Dubb is a video sharing app that allows you to create and send video messages, collect and analyze the open-rate data, and much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But here are a few tips where it can be used to smooth out your daily workflow and avoid the classic Zoom fails:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tip #1 &#8211; Leverage project management tools in tandem with Dubb<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take advantage of project management tools such as Asana, Trello, and Monday when assigning and updating tasks. Use Dubb\u2019s in-browser chrome extension and record and send personalized videos to those that need them, right in the platform\u2019s comment section.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tip #2 &#8211; Deliver Team Announcements Through Video<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than corralling the team onto a video call, create one video containing your project updates and shoot that out to the group. They\u2019ll be able to watch it at their convenience and everyone gets to stay in their pajama pants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tip #3 &#8211; Assign Specific Actions to Client Messages<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need feedback from a client on a given project, include those instructions in a video along with any documents or attachments you need them to fill out. Once they\u2019ve completed the task at hand, you can send them a pre-recorded message detailing the next steps and expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Final Takeaway<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"Zoom Fails Resolved: Do This Easy Workflow Instead of Zoom Meetings\" width=\"1260\" height=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UTfA8P1YbtY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At its core, Dubb is here to help you make a lasting impression on your teammates, clients, and prospects while maximizing efficiency, streamlining technologies, and bringing back results you can measure.<\/span><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a class=\"free-trial-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/dubb.com\/register?utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=blog-post&#038;utm_campaign=zoom-fails-and-how-to-avoid-them\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GET A FREE ACCOUNT ON DUBB<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To claim your free hosted account, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dubb.com\/register\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">click here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It should come as no surprise that Zoom fails at times.
