The impact of the physical caracteristics in the meeting room; furniture etc
and objects as actants during meetings that steer the process (flipchart, sticky notes) as well as architecture of the meeting

Affordances of objects and physical environment
What is the point of a (group) meeting? What can be accomplished through co-presence that can’t be accomplished online or through dyadic interaction?
Good question! Maybe also: At which stages of team collaboration are which types of meetings important (e.g. virtual vs. face-to-face)?
And what shapes the dynamics that make co-presence productive and when does it result in fragmentation or separation?
and, if virtual is the only option, how do we change practice to make that work?
What’s the difference between virtual and physical meetings?
Good questions but what does that mean exactly? In terms of interaction? in terms of outcomes?
The embodied, nonverbal elements of interaction come into play when studying physical meetings.
What about virtual proxies of nonverbal behavior such as emoticons?
How to study and compare
the difference in terms of effectively achieving objectives interests me
also, a specific issue is the hybridity of meetings: using several modes at the same time
I guess virtual team research shows already quite clearly, that “virtuality” plays only a minor role in natural environments. There is no point in comparing…
Do you have a source I could read?
Video mediated meetings
I would call this more broadly technology-mediated
