Generally speaking, we don’t see emergencies coming. And an emergency videoconference that requires our participation can be a genuinely stressful experience – even for skilled presenters. The sudden demand for your presence means that everyone involved in the call can see you just the way you are, having been caught off guard.
It can easily happen: you’re on vacation or asleep at the given moment. Or maybe you're dealing with something completely different when there appears an emergency message from work. It may be a video call involving the board or senior management team. The topic may be highly important.
Another example is if you are the contact person for media or business partners – either for the whole company or for specific matters.
