If you have a mute button, use it.
If you're saying things and everyone ignores you, don't get mad, get off mute.
If you call in with your PC in the same room as a conference room phone that's connected, mute the microphone on your PC.
If you have a headset, use it.
If your headset batteries are low, charge them so that you can use your headset.
If my phone has a mute and my conference call app (e.g. WebEx, Zoom) has a mute button, should I use the one on my phone? the one in the app? or both?
I pretty much go with the button on the phone/headset, as it's one that blocks at the device level, so I don't worry about accidentally unmuting with a keyboard combination as I work on email during the call.
And, yes, there are times I do email during a call... ::)

This script listens to meetings I'm supposed to be paying attention to and pings me on hipchat when my name is mentioned.
It sends me a transcript of what was said in the minute before my name was mentioned and some time after.
It also plays an audio file out loud 15 seconds after my name was mentioned which is a recording of me saying, "Sorry, I didn't realize my mic was on mute there."

That's awsome.
Also need an application that will randomly block SIP packets leaving my PC when I want to get off a call and can try to claim a bad connection as an excuse. :rolleyes:
my biggest pet peeve is not talking over someone or interrupting them. Also... don't be the guy who likes to hear himself speak.
Yeah, don't be that guy AT ALL. People will start putting you on projects with the worst PMs if you're that guy...
