[Trevor Hatfield](https://www.taggg.com/blog/author/trevor-hatfield) May 26, 2022 --- ![](https://www.taggg.com/hubfs/Remote-Meetings-How-to-Book-a-Meeting-%26-Run-It.png)   For busy professionals, remote meetings can be a great way to get work done. They offer many benefits, such as reduced distractions and more flexibility. In this post, we'll explore these benefits of remote meetings a little more in depth. We'll also share the step by step instructions for how to book with the best remote meetings booking software on the market. ## What Are Remote Meetings? Remote meetings are a great way to connect with people who are located far away. By using technology, people can attend meetings without having to be in the same room. This is a great way for people who are traveling or working from home to stay connected with their team. There are many different types of remote meeting software that can be used. Though are preferred software for booking remote meetings is Taggg, some of the other popular software options include Calendly, Doodle, and GoToMeeting. ### To book a remote meeting, you'll typically follow these steps: 1. Determine the purpose of the meeting. 2. Decide on the time, and the manner in which it will be held (i.e. via Zoom, Skype or some other digital meeting software). 3. Choose participants and prepare materials. 4. Confirm the meeting date and time with all participants via a bookings calendar. 5. Have the meeting, and follow up after with meeting notes Remote meetings can be used for a variety of purposes. They can be used for business meetings, team meetings, training sessions, team audits, and so much more. The best part is that they are affordable and easy to set up. All you need is a computer or mobile device with internet access and a webcam. ## What Are The Most Common Types of Remote Meetings? - Teleconferencing: Typically done by phone, but can also be done over a[VoIP phone system like Ring4](https://www.ring4.com/). Teleconferencing remote meetings allow you to hear other participants, but not see them. While there is typically one person in charge of running or leading the meeting, all participants can usually ask questions, discuss ideas, and engage with each other. - **Video conference:** These remote meetings are usually held via a platform like Zoom and allow you to both see and hear your meeting participants. Like teleconference remote meetings, video conferences usually encourage collaboration and discussion with all participants having the ability to ask questions. - **Web conference:** The main difference between a teleconference or video conference and a web conference is that typically web conferences are hosted by one or more individuals sharing and presenting data to others. Web conferences can be audio, visual, or both, but in these remote meetings, the participants are primarily there to listen, not engage - i.e. they can't ask questions directly. ## What are the Benefits of Remote Meetings? - **Saves time:** With remote meetings, there's no need to book a conference room or event space. As a result, you can save time. No setting up the area, waiting on people to drive to your location and potentially get stuck in traffic, and once you're ready to host the event, you can do so immediately. - **Effective to-the-point communication:** Unlike an in-person meeting, odds of participants chatting with one another and engaging in small talk or conversations that are out of scope of the meeting are usually avoided. Once the meeting begins, everyone knows to simply listen in and engage when requested. This factor also can save a lot of time. - **Cost effective:** With remote meetings there's no expenses for things like gas, tolls or parking. There's also no need to buy the doughnuts and coffee for the back of the room. To book a meeting, choosing the right tool will also save you money. Taggg for example, is free to get started with, and offers plans for individuals and teams at a significantly lower price point than other options on the market. It also saves a lot of time by eliminating the back and forth that occurs in most bookings calendar software by allowing your contacts (i.e. potential meeting participants) to instantly see everyone's availability. ## How to Book a Remote Meeting With Taggg You've heard about our software and decided you need to book a meeting with Taggg.
