[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not appropriate even for internal meetings unless it is occasional and with someone you know well. Otherwise it sends a message of “You are not important enough for me to dedicate this time to you. This is only worth my time if I can multi-task too.”

Someone did this (went off-camera so they could take a walk) during our initial intro/get to know you one-on-one meeting when they moved from another part of the org to a team adjacent to mine. I would ordinarily have gone out of my way to be helpful, share knowledge, connect them to others. After they did that I got a bad taste in my mouth and didn’t put in extra effort beyond answering the questions they asked.[/quote]

I only do this in meetings where I am listening but not participating and most importantly, not expected to regularly participate. If I am asked a question then I respond and my treadmill is turned off. When not speaking, 99.9% of the time, I am only walking 2mph so there is no heavy breathing it is just finding a way to get in movement. 
The person taking notes who doesn't mute themselves and you can constantly hear typing or their cat meowing is making more noise. [/quote]
