Running the call itself
Half of what makes a call work happens before anyone speaks, and most of it is about the link.
MeMeet does HD video and audio, screen sharing with a presentation mode, collaborative notes, integrated checklists, recording, and one-click meeting links.
The link is the feature
A meeting link that takes one click and no account is the difference between a client joining and a client emailing to ask how to join. Send it in the calendar invite rather than in a message on the day — the invite is where people look thirty seconds before the call, and a link they have to search for is a link that starts the meeting four minutes late.
For anything with someone outside your team, send the link the day before as well. Not because they will test it, but because the ones who would have had a problem now have time to say so.
Sharing a screen people can read
Most screen shares are unreadable and the presenter never finds out, because nobody wants to be the person who says so.
Three things fix nearly all of it. Share a window, not the whole desktop — it keeps your notifications private and stops the viewer hunting for which part matters. Increase the font size before you share, not after somebody asks; on a phone your normal editor text is illegible. And use presentation mode when you are talking through something rather than working on it, because it removes the interface you do not want people reading.
If you are sharing code or a table, say what you are pointing at out loud. Viewers on a small screen cannot see your cursor.
Recording, honestly
Record anything a decision will be based on. Not so people watch it back — almost nobody does — but so that the one time somebody disputes what was agreed, there is an answer instead of two memories.
Two rules that are not optional. Say you are recording at the start, out loud, even if a notice appears. And do not record a conversation about a person's performance or a client's problems; the existence of that file is a liability and its usefulness is close to zero.
The two things that make a call produce something
Open the collaborative notes before the call, not after. A document that exists when people join gets used; one created at the end gets whatever the most guilty person remembers.
And add checklist items while the conversation is happening. An action captured live has an owner because the owner is in the room. The same action written up afterwards has no owner, and no owner means it does not happen.
Questions people actually ask
How do I stop meetings starting late?
Put the link in the calendar invite rather than a message on the day. The invite is where people look thirty seconds beforehand; a link they have to search for costs four minutes every time.
Why can nobody read my screen share?
Because you shared the whole desktop at your normal font size. Share a single window, increase the font before sharing, and use presentation mode when you are talking through something rather than working on it.
Should I record every meeting?
Record what a decision will rest on. Do not record conversations about someone's performance or a client's problems — that file is a liability and nobody will ever watch it.
