He emphasizes video in several places, e.g., "Add a conference call/video meeting to every meeting, no exceptions" and "Use video if at all possible". However, a very significant drawback to video (over written chat) is that it is much, much harder for other people to see or refer back to later.

And for some people (such as myself) there's something about the spoken word that just takes longer to process, especially if there's even a slight amount of background noise.
- mordocai 10y agoThis is the status quo for meetings in general though, yes? In both cases unless you have someone scribing, you have no easy to refer to records.
- gohrt 10y agoA meeting without a scribe is mostly wasted.
- mjevans 10y agoThat's why I -hate- non-written form meetings. For brainstorming, where the meeting is shoving data up on to some board/display the open form of 'meeting' can be fine. For any meeting where you'd bring a powerpoint, a well written set of steps and pictures is probably better. For any meeting where decisions must be reached; the entire addenda of the meeting should have been published along with any resources to reach the decision beforehand; INCLUDING time for participants to ask follow-up questions and receive answers about the material.
- geerlingguy 10y agoNotes are always helpful; we usually hit 'record' for every meeting and save the recording link in our Wiki, plus take some notes (most of the time at least) and put those in our wiki, and often in a follow up email.
