Tips and Tricks to being a star webinar participant!


A special thank you goes out Dara, the Senior HR Generalist who inspired my post today....

Thank you Dara!


Let's face it....

None of us really want to participate in those webinars.

We ALL know those corporate individuals who are being paid big bucks to work from home are trying to create work for themselves so their bosses don't discover they really are just useless wastes of company payroll...

My theory is, the individuals who host the most webinars are the individuals who have the least actual impact on the company itself.

I have discovered, though, that while the webinar itself is usually 60 minutes of frozen screens and "can you all hear me", it's the participants that sometimes steal the show.

With that said.... Here you go!

The Tips and Tricks to Being a Star Webinar Participant

Tip #1

By ALL means.... Please DO use your webcam image to get an up close and personal of the inside of your nose to pluck out that booger. While you're at it, roll it into a ball and flick it somewhere off camera. It's NOT the same if you don't!

Tip #2

Be sure to wear a v-neck sweater that is cut low enough that the bottom of the v is off camera. This will keep us ON OUR TOES! Is she naked? Is that a cardigan? Is she naked beneath a cardigan?? The world may never know.... What we DO know is, I will have to poke out my eyes if you cup your breasts and adjust your bra one more time.

Tip #3

Good personal hygiene? UN-NECESSARY for webcam participation! Scratch that scalp and investigate that dandruff for all to see! Don't bother wiping the underside of your dandruff nails... You can absolutely use those same fingernails to scrape the plaque from your teeth! It's cool.... While you're at it, clean that wax out of your ear too! That's practically a bath!

And last.... But not least.

Tip #4

No need to feign interest in the webinar topic at hand, we've all lost interest in it to. We're all busy watching you as you open your , screw around on your cell phone, and stare wide eyed at something on your laptop screen while licking your lips... Are you looking at food? A naked man?? A naked man with food??? The possibilities are endless.


So, there you have it folks. The tips and tricks to being a star webinar participant....

With a little time and practice, you TOO can be a star.

Good luck!

    I've never been on a Zoom call although I've had numerous one-on-ones. What could go wrong?
They are absolutely panful to be a part of.... You aren't missing anything. Someone is always not on speaker phone when they should be, someone is always having connectivity issues, and someone is always asking the most stupid questions.

OMG! True story.... Had a different call today and one of the participants was actually sitting in a lazy boy crocheting.

    Quoting  :

Most of us don't turn out cameras on unless it's required. One of the presenters actually used that as an excuse.... Wouldn't you think, as a presenter, a good connection and signal would be a must?? It's was a bit of a shut show.

    lol... So true.
    I could go on with my trivial company and examples but simpler proof is visible on public forums and TV. OMG 😂 LOL 😂

    I don't get why they can't get it! 😜
I don't get why this webinar couldn't have been sent as an email... Download a couple of apps to access this year's benefits and rewards? Done! I did it while watching Data and half paying attention to the presenter. The apps are really used friendly, too.
