  I didn’t hear what you said. What’s that noise in the background?

  Mattia: Sorry, I opened the window because it’s very hot here in Florence.

  2

  Goodmorning everyone and sorry that I’m late. There was another meeting before I had to attend until the end.

  3

  I just saw that I muted some of you accidentally. Excuse me, however, now everyone can hear you.

  4

  Sally, I can see only your browser window. Are you already sharing you screen? If you can’t, you can send me the file.

  5

  Is everything ok, Jess? Why is your video frozen? Can you still hear me?

  6

  I’m going to have to ask you to speak one at a time. We can’t hear you very well.

  7

  Hi everyone, I’m surprised you can hear anything. I just heard a troublesome sound on the background

  8

  Is there any chance if I suggest another time? Are you available at 10.30?

  @Cristiana.Starnotti this is good work.

  Here you’ll find some suggestions to make things sound more natural:

  2. Take away ‘that’ – it’s more fluent: Good morning everyone and sorry I’m late.

  3. Replace Excuse me with – sorry about that

  I just saw that I muted some of you accidentally. Sorry about that, now everyone can hear you.

  4. Word order: Sally, I can only see your browser window.
