"Video conferencing is a big deal. Makes remote work possible and routine."
I work remote for 5 years now and only do video conferencing a few times a year and even then it seems optional.
On the other hand I'm a professional writer, so maybe I'm more used to expressing my thoughts via text than the average person.
- ghaff 7y agoWe use video conferencing pretty heavily where I work but you can mostly not broadcast video if you don't want to--although some groups prefer everyone to be on camera because they think, and I generally agree, it increases engagement. (And screen sharing is used quite a bit as well.) But the bigger point I think is that we have the tools generally to support distributed and remote work--code/document repos, texting, collaborative document editing/viewing, easy conferencing (whether or not video), etc.
