In our remote Level 10 Meetings, how should we handle the digital whiteboard or shared screen so we focus on facial cues instead of staring at an issues spreadsheet for ninety minutes?

Remote Level 10 Meetings collapse into disengagement when the screen share becomes an emotional barrier. Staring at a shared document for ninety minutes invites leaders to check email, review Slack, and disengage from debate.

Run the remote pulse with strict visual discipline.
- Keep cameras full-screen during Segue, Scorecard, Rock Review, Headlines, and the To-Do List. No screen share is permitted during these reporting sections. Every leader keeps their own operational document open on a side window, reads their numbers or states track or off track, and looks directly into the lens.
- Share the screen only during IDS, and only display the prioritized top three issues. The person designated as the scribe, usually the Integrator or an assistant, shares their screen displaying just the three active issues and the live To-Do capture box. This keeps the team aligned on exact wording without burying faces under a massive spreadsheet.
- Drop the screen share as soon as the team enters intense debate. When two leaders need to work through root-cause disagreement, the Integrator cuts the screen share and forces eye-to-eye dialogue. Once clarity is reached, bring the document back up, capture the exact seven-day To-Do, and close the issue.

Video presence is the remote equivalent of sitting at the conference table. If your team looks at documents instead of human reactions, you will miss the nonverbal tension where real organizational issues hide.
