online aka virtual, remote, streaming meetings
- Fully virtual & hybrid
While streaming meetings, both virtual and hybrid (online & virtual) existed prior to Covid, the pandemic forced the world to embrace streaming meetings in both the work place and education. Some took to these new meetings and others resisted, but one thing is for certain; streaming virtual and hybrid meetings are here to stay.
Here are the key differences between an online meeting and a hybrid meeting:
- An online meeting also referred to as a virtual, streaming or remote meeting is a meeting that is held entirely online, with all participants joining remotely.
- A hybrid meeting is a meeting that is held partly in person and partly online, with some participants joining in person and some joining online.
Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of each type of meeting:
Online (virtual / remote) meetings
- Advantages:
- Virtual meetings can be held from anywhere in the world.
- Virtual meetings can save time and money.
- Virtual meetings can be more inclusive, as people who are unable to attend in person can still participate.
- Disadvantages:
- Virtual meetings can be less personal and less engaging.
- Virtual meetings can be more difficult to manage, as there is no central location for all participants.
- Virtual meetings can be more susceptible to technical problems.
Hybrid meetings
- Advantages:
- Hybrid meetings can combine the best of both online and in-person meetings.
- Hybrid meetings can allow for more face-to-face interaction than online meetings.
- Hybrid meetings can be more engaging and productive than online meetings.
- Disadvantages:
- Hybrid meetings can be more difficult to organize and manage.

Ultimately, the best type of meeting for a particular situation will depend on the specific needs of the participants.

Hybrid meetings are a mix of both in person meeting and streaming where participants and presenters can be in the main meeting space or anywhere they have an internet connection. These can be a bit easier to manage as there is a main moderator in a central location with live participants.
Virtual meetings (online meetings) became very popular during Covid and are held for an online audience. All participants and mediators are in separate locations and can be anyway in the world as long as they have an internet connection.
