Be on camera, show up, be present. It is okay to allow for silence, do not feel pressure to talk constantly. Allow space for people to process information, to ask questions, and to clarify. We make untold assumptions about other people's expressions from our own bias and lack of allowance for processing. If there appears to be a lack of clarify and comprehension, say it respectfully. Be brave enough to say it out loud while there is the room for discussion.

In virtual meetings, the role of nonverbal cues, particularly facial expressions, is pivotal in building rapport. A furrowed brow may signal confusion, while a nod can show agreement. Poor video quality or limited visibility of the client's face can hinder communication, so asking for clarification is important. This ensures a better understanding of nonverbal signals and highlights your attentiveness and commitment to the client's perspective.

To work on voice assistants in virtual client interactions, identify key customer touchpoints that can be handled by AI, develop a clear interaction flow for the voice assistant, and ensure it can access relevant customer data to provide personalized and helpful responses, while also having a fallback mechanism for complex issues that require human intervention; this involves utilizing technologies like Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand customer intent and deliver appropriate responses.

Having worked with the disability community virtually for the past 4 years, specializing in low-vision, I’ve learned there are a lot of verbal cues that you can use to communicate more clearly besides words. Tone, demeanor, and EQ are essential in the virtual care ans service environments.

Another important factor is timing in responses—a delayed response or awkward pause can indicate discomfort or confusion. Addressing this by allowing pauses for reflection or asking open-ended questions can help ensure everyone is on the same page. Virtual communication isn’t just about what’s said, but also when and how it’s communicated. Thanks for sharing these valuable tips!

To encourage peers to turn on their cameras during virtual meetings, set clear expectations beforehand by mentioning in the meeting invite that video is preferred, lead by example by turning your own camera on, explain the benefits of seeing each other's faces for better connection, and consider using breakout rooms to create smaller, more intimate interactions where turning on the camera feels more natural; if someone is hesitant, address concerns privately and be understanding of potential barriers like poor internet connection or privacy worries.

Having a positive camera angle can enable an effective virtual section that should encourage a more realistic section with a client. Obviously, the client will feel more natural with the use of non-verbal cues that the counsellor will understand promptly. The proximity here will seem natural and real for the client to open up clearly. Therefore, the counsellor will interpret the non-verbal cues quickly. However, any non-verbal cues mis-interpreted can be reviewed promptly because of the connectivity.

Clarifying questions are an amazing way to ensure that everyone is on the same page. Using structured conversations will help, i.e meeting agendas with clear outcomes, questions you need answers and impacts of them not being answered. You can then use this as a check list towards the end of the session and clarify any points that are still ambiguous. Some of these questions may help: "Can I repeat that back to you to ensure that I have understood" "When you said X did you mean things like (insert specific example)" "We had an agenda item of X where we had to make a decision about Y, where did we land on that?" "So as I understand it the decision is X and the next steps are Y & Z ... have I interpreted that correctly?"

?Acknowledge your uncertainty: Phrases like "I'm not sure if I'm reading this right, but" or "Could you clarify what you mean by that gesture?" ?Paraphrase and repeat back: Summarize the non-verbal cues you observed to confirm your interpretation, "You crossed your arms which makes me think you might disagree, is that accurate?" ?Use open-ended questions: Ask questions that require more than a simple yes or no answer to encourage further explanation. ?Focus on specific details: Mention particular body language cues you noticed, "When you looked away, did that mean you weren't interested in the topic?" ?Maintain a respectful tone: Be polite and avoid making assumptions, always aim to seek clarification rather than accusing.

Skills that I’ve learned through classes that focus on Motivational Interviewing have been incredibly helpful here. Empathy is so important in this process. Healthcare providers often ask questions to their patients that can feel demeaning. Your questions should convey respect and care. The consumer has valuable knowledge to contribute. Make sure they feel comfortable sharing it.

In a virtual meeting with a client from a bioinformatics project, I noticed they frequently nodded but seemed distracted, glancing away from the screen. I gently asked, “I see you're nodding, but I want to ensure everything is clear - do you feel comfortable with the current direction?” The client then admitted they had concerns but didn’t want to interrupt. By acknowledging the ambiguity in their gestures and using empathetic, clarifying language, I created space for them to voice concerns, which we then addressed collaboratively. This approach ensures alignment and avoids misinterpretations caused by passive gestures.

Working as a reader-scribe for the blind for the last 4 years, both professionally and volunteering, I’ve learned that technology can be really difficult to work with! Humble yourself when meeting with your clients. They might not have the technical skills that you have, but that doesn’t mean they’re any less skilled! Different brains work in different ways. No way of thinking is invalid, as long as it’s evidence-based!
