In this day and age, you must be familiar with what is called a virtual meeting or commonly called a virtual meeting. This meeting was different from other meetings, this meeting was held by connecting devices between gadgets such as Android, iPhone, Macro and Windows for the virtual meeting medium.

Face-to-face meetings with conventional models were replaced by virtual meetings due to a biological disaster situation called the COVID-19 pandemic, thus requiring virtual meetings for recommendations.
compared to face-to-face meetings, this meeting only provides gadgets such as laptops, computers, and any devices as long as they have a webcam or external camera for the terms of this conference. This meeting is very practical, users can just stay at home or anywhere without having to gather together in one particular place/area, in virtual meetings they can also hold meetings such as meetings in general, users who want to be hosts or members can send/create link that is in a special application for this meeting. in a meetings application there is a share screen menu, open mic, open camera, messages, records, emoji and several other unique features that are not found in conventional meetings. Organizations using virtual meetings are very practical substitutes for face-to-face meetings because they are quick to set up, inexpensive, and bring the most recommended people wherever they are. But it may also be difficult to do because it requires expertise to use virtual applications so that when someone fails in technology it will be difficult to use it.

In this article, we will explain how to use virtual meetings appropriately and all the considerations so that they can be used carefully.
In any meeting, ethics in conveying something or wanting to have an opinion must still be adhered to even though the members are separated. restrictions on interaction are very necessary in virtual meetings because this is very crucial because unlike public meetings, virtual meetings require sensitivity and dexterity in showing the contents of thoughts, questions, and answers because if one does not respond, the atmosphere will change instantly.
Some applications that can be used to conduct virtual meetings such as zoom, google hangout meet, webex, microsoft teams, skype and many others. The benefits are not much different in bringing together people who are difficult to meet in public meetings under any circumstances and conditions. The use of this virtual meeting is very beneficial for large companies because it can save costs and savings significantly and benefit the leader's business trip. In addition, virtual meetings also have their own impacts and risks, namely so that we continue to stare at the screen we are constantly looking at. Indirectly, we must express the face in as much detail and interest as possible, rearrange the voice so that it is pleasant to hear, and even more so try to capture and talk during the meeting.

Then the question arises whether this meeting is beneficial or detrimental to its users?
Let's review again.
In the view of people in general, this virtual meeting does have many advantages in terms of economy, space, time and adequate flexibility. No wonder people prefer virtual meetings because they are more practical and have enough internet quota and if you don't have an internet quota, you can use tethering / Wi-Fi from somewhere such as cafes, restaurants, airports, terminals, stations and places where there are many visited by the public.
But on the other hand, in addition to having many advantages, there are also disadvantages that are not small. That is, as previously explained, you have to constantly look at laptop screens and gadgets, because you have to constantly look at the screen, your vision will slowly get tired and your eyes want to rest from the screen light that causes eye fatigue. For people who are not strong enough to stare at the screen for too long, of course it will have a serious impact on visual health and can be at serious risk if allowed to continue. Next is the problem of system devices from users of laptop / gadget devices, especially camera and microphone problems, if at a meeting one of the hosts wants all members to use cameras while there are members who do not use cameras, they will get a score and it makes depression who do not use cameras because will be directly hit by a mental attack. Meanwhile, the microphone problem is a problematic network problem because maybe one of the members is in an isolated place or is outside the range of the signal tower, therefore when the member wants to start a conversation, the sound that sounds less smooth and broken. Its users are forced to listen to cracked voices and tend to be uncomfortable in such situations. This situation is very different during public meetings because they are face to face without being constrained by poor camera and microphone connections. its users are forced to listen to cracked voices and tend to be uncomfortable in such situations. This situation is very different during public meetings because they are face to face without being constrained by poor camera and microphone connections. Worse things can happen if virtual meetings are held for more than one day and are given unmitigated tasks that can disturb and burden users who attend a particular meeting conference. In the end, each type of meeting, both public and virtual, has its own risks, everyone has their own opinion whether they agree or disagree with any meeting. but the essence of humans cannot be separated from fatigue and there are times when we want to release tiredness with something that replaces energy such as refreshing, doing habits that benefit the user's body and soul and more importantly keeping a distance from making contact with laptop screens / gadgets for a certain time because of something wrong. too much is still not good.
