Visibility in digital meetings - doubling engagement
Successful digital and hybrid meetings aren't just about technology - it's about ensuring that all participants are actually seen and heard. A new study from Jabra and the London School of Economics shows that visibility in video meetings can double engagement and performance. As more and more companies navigate the changing landscape of multi-location employees and customers, video meetings remain the backbone of virtual collaboration. However, hybrid collaboration presents unique challenges, from maintaining engagement to ensuring all voices are heard.
What equipment is required to keep participants engaged during our digital meetings?
Being seen at meetings doubles attention and engagement
Let's face it: we've all been to meetings where we've struggled to be seen and heard. But is it really that important to see the speaker? It turns out that the answer is yes, it is more important than you might think.
1,5x
People seen in meetings are 1.5 times more focused than those off camera.
2x
They are also twice as 'engaged' throughout the meeting.
3x
Visible participants are also three times more expressive than those who are out of frame and show a greater emotional range during the meeting.
The results are clear: investing in video solutions not only strengthens collaboration, it also empowers people to perform at their best.
Visibility in digital meetings is not just a matter of technology - it is a key to engagement, collaboration and productivity. When everyone is visible and feels safe, it creates the conditions for more effective and creative hybrid meetings.
