After you've determined if you need to be at this meeting or not, the next question always should be, can you attend by Skype? The beauty of Skype is you don't have to get out of your chair even if the meeting is down the hole. It will save you some time. If you can attend virtually certainly if it's in another part of town, another city and other continent. You save so much time by not having to physically be there. So that should always be the next question.

You asked, Can you attend this meeting? by Skype video or WebEx, whatever platform I'm platform agnostic here, but can you attend in a virtual format or a conference call? easiest of all, for most people, that is the next step.
