Maybe not the "biggest" faux pas but it bugs me when someone is obviously checking/responding to messages ... I empathize, because there's always something to respond to, and I am guilty of it, but wouldn't it be better if we all focus on the meeting instead of task switching?Director in Manufacturing, 1,001 - 5,000 employees

People on walking pads / treadmills... It's such a distraction. Just stay off camera, which is another faux pas, but better than causing everyone motion sickness 🤣Principle Consultant in IT Services, Self-employed

Not really “in” the meeting but I’ve found some folks are much less conscientious about scheduling online meetings with sufficient notice than they would be for in person meetings. I’ve gotten project kickoff meetings with 3 hour notice (also at 1pm, already creating difficulties around lunch and moving things around) where this wouldn’t happen in physical meetings nearly as often.CEO in Consumer Goods, Self-employed

If anyone starts eating on a call I will immediately feign technical problems and bail. Misophonia is a tough (but real) ailment.Content you might like
