Because of COVID-19 you've
probably had at least
1
9029
3721
00:12
one online meeting or
class in the past year.

12779

00:17
Thanks to the globalised world,
we can talk to people
3
17100
2849
00:19
from many cultures via
online meeting platforms.

00:23
In today’s video,
I’ll give you some
5
23910
2699
00:26
phrases you can use in
these types of situations.
6
26611
3478
00:30
Let's check them out.

Hello everyone.
Good morning.
8
33450
1830
00:35
Daisy, are you with us?
9
35850
1860
00:38
Can you please turn
your camera on?
10
38340
1650
00:40
I can't see you.
11
40380
1049
00:42
Most online meeting platforms
have a camera button which you
12
42210
4290
00:46
can turn on and off.
13
46502
2306
00:50
Oh, there you are.
14
50189
1590
00:52
Do you have the numbers
for our presentation?
15
52619
2341
00:57
I'm afraid your microphone
is on mute, Daisy.
16
57960
2640
01:00
We can't hear you.
17
60810
1169
01:03
Like the camera button,
meeting platforms have
18
63840
2849
01:06
a microphone icon which
allows you to speak.
19
66691
3208
01:10
If it is on mute,
no one can hear you.
20
70260
2819
01:18
Oh, I'm sorry,
I didn't realise
21
78900
3479
01:22
it was on mute, and,
yes, I have the numbers
22
82381
3119
01:25
for the presentation.
23
85501
1139
01:27
Can you please share
your screen then,
24
87659
1950
01:29
so everyone can see them?
25
89670
1679
01:33
When you share your screen,
people on the call will see
26
93879
3631
01:37
what is on your computer
or cell phone screen.
27
97512
3027
01:44
Oh, yes, of...
28
104340
1229
01:47
Oh dear, I think
Daisy’s breaking up.
29
107159
2679
01:50
This expression means that
you can't hear, or see well,
30
110730
3789
01:54
someone on the call.
31
114521
1078
01:56
Can you hear me, Daisy?
32
116340
1300
01:59
You've frozen.
33
119469
1080
02:01
This means that the video stream
of the person has stopped,
34
121719
3841
02:05
or is still, like an image.
35
125939
2290
02:09
I'm so sorry, boss.
36
129879
2060
02:12
I have a terrible
connection today,
37
132270
2230
02:14
and I can't open my
camera or share my screen.
38
134759
3220
02:18
To have a bad or terrible
connection means you
39
138879
3590
02:22
have a poor internet
connection in that moment,
40
142471
2948
02:25
which causes some instability
for the person to participate
41
145620
4319
02:29
in the online meeting.
42
149969
1140
02:31
Oh, don't worry about it,
Daisy, it happens to all of us.
43
151590
4750
02:36
Can you please share the link
for the presentation on the chat
44
156629
3401
02:40
box so I can share my screen?
45
160032
2577
02:43
To share something on the
chat box means to type in
46
163530
3639
02:47
a link or a message for
participants to see.
47
167170
2999
02:50
Sure, no problem, here you are.
48
170909
2410
03:11
So those were our
expressions related to
49
191969
3401
03:15
connection and online meetings.
50
195372
2308
03:18
Do you have any other
expressions you use during
51
198000
3719
03:21
online meetings or video chats?
52
201780
1899
03:23

comments section.
