Technology is quickly allowing for distance mediation. Video conferencing is becoming a standard form for business meetings. In mediation, the ability to read non-verbal cues and body language is very helpful. For this reason, the best form for online mediation is using web cameras that allow the mediator to see as well as hear you. If you do not have a web camera, mediation can still proceed. You will need a computer connected to the internet, either a computer headset or a phone (headset or earphones helpful).
