Why do you want to have synchronous remote conversations?
- tialaramex 9y agoNot the above poster but: it is _so_ much faster to figure out what somebody is doing wrong like this. My first preference is a screenshare or video conference, so I can see what they see. Second is a phone call. Third is live chat like IRC or Slack and emails are a distant last place.
- pfarnsworth 9y agoThe same reason why sometimes meetings are actually important and faster to come to a decisions than email or chat. When you have all the stakeholders in front of each other, either physically or virtually, information is disseminated and decisions come together much quicker.
- microcolonel 9y agoIndeed, the mythical "good meeting". I swear I've seen it firsthand, but nobody believes me.
- astura 9y agoThe only times we've ever had meetings at work they've been good ones! We only have a few a year.
