Abstract
Since the introduction of Information and Communication Technologies, the virtual business meeting has become a popular platform for business networks, whose popularity increased massively during and post COVID-19. In this study, we focus on virtual business meetings and examine perceptions of presence in virtuality. We draw insights from a mixed methods study, and our findings suggest that prominent factors of technical, personal, and physical elements influence attendees’ perceptions of presence. We posit that by understanding attendees’ perception of social presence during virtual business meetings, we can better understand and explore the factors that contribute to virtual engagement and remote interaction. Based on this, we conclude our paper by suggesting specific interventions that can improve remote interaction during virtual meetings.
