Inequality in Virtual Meetings

Exploring the dynamics of representation imbalance in virtual meetings, the chapter delves into the challenges faced by remote attendees in engaging with physically present participants. The metaphor of giants versus ants is used to illustrate the dominance of in-person individuals in conversations, leading to reduced participation from virtual attendees. Suggestions for improving engagement, the efficacy of in-person meetings, and the value of audio-only interactions are discussed to enhance understanding and connection in virtual settings.
