Build a pre-call checklist for video meetings
Builds a pre-call checklist for audio, video, lighting, sharing and privacy that takes under five minutes, tuned to your type of calls.
Task:
Build a pre-call checklist I can run in under five minutes before every video meeting.
Context:
My calls are mostly [interviews, client calls, team meetings or presentations], about [number] a week, in [home office, open office or shared room]. I use [calling app], a [headset, speakers or laptop microphone] and [built-in or external camera]. My usual problems are [echo, bad lighting, late starts or similar].
Rules:
- Give at most twelve items in the order I should do them, each one a short action with a yes or no check.
- Include sharing the screen safely, such as closing private tabs and muting notifications, and one item for a backup plan if the connection drops.
- Do not claim which settings my calling app has. Tell me to find the matching setting in my app and mark the items where you are unsure.
Result:
A numbered checklist in three groups, before joining, at joining and when sharing, then one line on what to test once a week.
