I've tried this a few times with another coworker. I don't know. It just didn't quite work for either of us. The connection didn't seem as stable. There's more noise even if neither of us was walking in a particularly noisy place. Voice only without video changes the dynamic. It's not possible to write down notes or look something up relevant to the conversation.
When we're in the same physical location, we do walking 1:1s and they work great. I'm not quite sure what exactly is different about them over Zoom or the phone.

- Fnoord 4y agoYep, body language, but since I am autistic I have trouble reading it, and the more people in the video call the more I get overwhelmed. An audio call is less overwhelming, and just walking while discussing (IRL or on audio call) is inspiring. It allows for the diffused mode of the brain to take control.
