Ask HN: Are you using asynchronous video at work?
6 by albertkoz | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, Disclaimer - I am building https://birdslate.com - an asynchronous video communication for remote teams. I've spent many years working in the videoconference space and this is my second startup in that domain. Now I am focusing all my effort on building an async video chat. I believe this is a form of communication that will sit somewhere between Zoom and Slack, yet it is not meant to replace either of them. In recent years, I've noticed that people often switch from video calls to recorded videos (e.g. for standups). I wonder if any of you is already using video messages in an asynch way, and whether you see any downfalls to it. For me the biggest pro is not being tied to a schedule, yet having the ability to hear and see the other person. I don't see many cons, but then again, I am obviously biased. I would appreciate any input on it.
