Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is it necessary to turn on the screen at business meetings in Japan?
A. Depends on the other party. There is a growing culture where it is recommended to turn on for first meetings and business negotiations, but it is OK to turn off for regular company meetings. It is safe to check in advance.
Q. Can I use a virtual background?
A. It's OK for casual office situations, but for formal business negotiations, a simple real background or blur is safe. Avoid flashy backgrounds.
Q. What is the etiquette for dealing with connection problems?
A. Immediately share in the chat, ``I'll re-enter the room due to a poor connection.'' If the event lasts for a long time, contact the organizer and use the phone as well.
Q. Do I need permission to record a meeting?
A. Legal and cultural reasons require prior permission. Be sure to ask at the beginning, "Is it okay if I record today's content?"
Q. What to do when Japanese is difficult?
A. It's good etiquette to say things like, "I'm sorry, but could I ask you again?" or "Is it okay if I explain it to you in English?" in a frank manner.
