Virtual meetings are becoming increasingly popular due to their numerous advantages. Firstly, they save resources as there is no need to rent a meeting space, purchase snacks and beverages for attendees, rent or buy equipment and pay for travel and accommodations for remote workers. Secondly, virtual meetings take pressure off those with tight schedules, are a time saver and those who are held in online platforms can allow for large groups as they are very organized.
