Description
The metaverse offers promising opportunities to enhance the experiences in virtual meetings. However, its limitations have led to the emergence of virtual hybrid meetings. This meeting format uses virtual conference rooms accessible via head-mounted displays (HMD) and 2D video interfaces. Given the limited research on virtual hybrid meetings, an exploratory approach is needed to determine key perspectives and dimensions. This short paper initiates a discussion on how hybrid meetings impact meeting experiences, focusing on employee collaboration. We also shed light on the role of user embodiment in shaping meeting experiences. Our early insights lay the groundwork for future investigations, which will explore how hybrid meetings can foster a sense of togetherness and boost well-being as well as group performance. Thereby, we support companies to implement metaverse meetings while addressing constraints such as cost and health concerns, ultimately enhancing meeting experience and productivity.
