How To Be Respectful on Conference Calls

When participating in any conference call, it is vital to show the utmost respect. After all, the person hosting the call has put a lot of time and energy into their presentation. Continue reading to find out how to be respectful on conference calls.

Be Punctual

Being late to a conference call is an obvious no-no. It demonstrates that your time is more valuable than everyone else's. To avoid offending anyone, make sure that you are on time for the call. 

Mute Your Line

When you are on a conference call, you may be able to hear background noise from your other coworkers. This background noise can be very distracting to people who are trying to listen to the call. To prevent this from happening, remember to set your phone line to the mute setting.

Do Not Drink or Eat

Unless the conference call is catered, do not eat or drink anything. It is no secret that this behavior can appear to be very ill-mannered. Refraining from eating and drinking anything can reassure the host of the call that you are giving them your full attention. 

If your conference calls have not gone according to plan because of a faulty phone system, it is time to invest in a new one.
