A study by UCL researchers has found that using a simple set of hand signals can improve the experience of online meetings, make groups feel closer to each other and that they are learning and communicating better
In their Guide to the Video Meeting Signals, they have 25 different signs.
Most of them are apparent, like thumbs down and thumbs up, but a few of them are a little bit more challenging to remember.
There is undoubtedly a place for them in video meetings such as Zoom, but I’m not sure about the more sophisticated ones, such as
“Please speak about yourself — your thoughts or feelings. Don’t generalize.”
But they look well worth experimenting with and may even have a place in face-to-face meetings.
