These are my guidelines. As they are mere guidelines mileage may vary depending on the participants and the context of the meeting.

If you call in a meeting:

- Have a clear picture of what you try to achieve with it.

- Communicate the purpose of the meeting in advance.

- Moderate the meeting to make sure that its participants actively contribute towards its goal. That is, if the meeting digresses, politely address it and make a constructive proposal on when and how to address the topic that caused the digression.

If you are being called into a meeting:

- Ask for what you can contribute to the goal of the meeting if it is not clear.

- Take responsibility in working towards the goal of the meeting.

This is hard work and I'm having enough Zoom fatigue so that I do not follow these guidelines myself at times but I try. I'm curious what others bring up.
