New Study: 1 Out of 5 People Admit to Attending Video Conferences in Their PJs
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
BOSTON, June 24, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new study by join.me, the popular
online meeting tool, exposes the behaviors and experiences - good, bad and just
plain, odd - of the rapidly growing number of people meeting via video around
the world. Survey respondents were sourced from North America, Europe, Australia
& New Zealand. Questions covered usage patterns, direct experiences and opinions
on best and worst practices. Findings ranged from the mundane to just plain
weird.
According to the research, some of the surprisingly common video conferencing
taboos include:
1. Dress the part.at least the part that shows up on camera
21% of Americans admitted to attending a video conference with a professional
top and pajama pants. And 17% of people worldwide report seeing someone dressed
inappropriately.
2. Stay out of bed - you snooze, you lose
More than 6% have actually seen someone taking a video conference from their
bed, though 57% admit to finding a place in the house that makes you look more
professional in prep for your video conference.
3. Don't use video as a mirror
18% have seen someone using the video camera as a mirror to fix their hair,
makeup and appearance. Interestingly, 1 in 4 Americans admit to applying make-up
before getting on a video conference, whereas Germans and Australians tend to go
natural with only 13% and 12%, respectively admitting to the same thing.
4. Stay out of the bathroom - Enough said.
21% of people surveyed voted this was the WORST thing someone could do on-screen
- and horrifyingly enough, 6% have ACTUALLY seen someone taking a VC from their
WC.
5. Don't Pick Your Nose - Don't pick anything.
1 in 10 people have seen someone pick their nose on-screen during a video
conference.
6. No Pets - No Dog. No Cat. Or any other animal for that matter.
16% of people have seen an attendees pet make an unexpected cameo.
7. No Strange Sounds - Please do not emit awkward, inappropriate bodily noises.
Yes, 8% people reported to have heard awkward and inappropriate bodily noises on
a video conference.
