second

disadvantage is the lack of face-to-face interaction which is often considered as the key to a successful meeting or training session. There would be some misunderstandings between people due to the indirect meeting.

However

, I am convinced that the advantages of virtual meetings are more significant. Compared to traditional face-to-face meetings, those held online consumes much less time and money. In the past, attendants had to make long trips just to meet with other employees from other branches,

however

with online meetings, all team members can join the conference from any place, without the need to travel. Another advantage of online communication is that members who join meetings and training can share and organise files and presentations easily and conveniently. The files can
