How do you handle missing details in video meetings?
Genuine question - I'm on back-to-back calls all day and my attention drifts constantly.
Yesterday I completely zoned out for maybe 30 seconds and missed a key decision. Too awkward to ask them to repeat it, so I just nodded along, and got it completely wrong later.
What do you all actually do in this situation?
- Just interrupt and ask them to repeat?
- Try to piece it together from context?
- Rewatch the recording later (so time-consuming)?
There has to be a better way, right?
