Planning video calls in a coliving house

Before a stay, look at your working week. Note recurring calls, confidential conversations and any times you need uninterrupted concentration. Ask about the spaces available for those needs rather than assuming a shared work table will suit every task. A room with good internet is not automatically a private place for client conversations.

Use headphones and take longer conversations away from quiet working areas where possible. Check whether spaces need booking and avoid occupying a shared room all day for one short call. Keep an alternative plan for essential meetings. At Selgars, discuss your work pattern before committing to a stay so expectations can be checked against the actual setup. Good shared working depends on behaviour as well as equipment.

For the wider context, read our coliving guide. If you are working through the next practical detail, a shared kitchen routine that leaves room for everyone follows naturally from this.

You can also explore coliving ethos and current prices. Bring the details of your group or stay to the conversation so we can discuss what fits, rather than assuming every arrangement is included.
