Deep dives

Introducing Yourself Face-to-Face or on Video

When introducing yourself in person or during a video call, it is most natural to say 'Hello, my name is' or 'I'm.' For instance, in a face-to-face meeting or a video conference, you would say 'Hello, my name is Anna' or 'I'm Anna.' However, when introducing someone else in these contexts, you would say 'This is [name],' like 'This is John, he's the finance lead.'
