We had another online conference on Friday.
Me and two other guys from this end, one of our clients from WA, and a couple of their IT team from the US.
We connected to the meeting site 1 minute before it was due to start and got the message that the meeting host needed to approve our entry into the meeting. And a 10 minute countdown timer.
The three of us discoursed upon many and varied topics whilst watching the countdown timer do its thing.
At 10 minutes past, it auto-disconnected.
We switched everything off, closed the apps, logged out of the conference app, turned the lights off, and then the phone rang.
It was the client wondering if we were going to join the meeting.
So we all went back in, turned everything on, started everything up again, and had what actually turned out to be a fairly productive meeting (albeit with long periods of silence after someone said something, and everyone was wondering whether they should say something next).
