For me, the reasons I tried to push for doing our daily update on Slack (back in 2016 I think) were: 1. Enable asynchronous work (by that I mean that we should both be avoiding a context switch at a fixed time of the day + not discriminate anyone working from home). 2. In every team that I've been, I've found that during traditional "standups" I found that most attendant would think about their own update rather than listening to the current speaker, which totally defeats the purpose of this meeting (which I guess should be to sync as a team). And so in the video demo, it seems very redundant to see each speaker describe what they already put in writing. Instead, if a face-to-face meeting is to be held in addition to a textual update, I would have expected the team to discuss any question they might have for their team mates which rises from the update they read _prior_ to the meeting. P.S. In the video demo, the cut from Heather's update to the summary of what we've seen was kind of blatant, and I can only guess that any women who might watch this demo and have experienced being disregarded on meetings by a group of men, might feel uncomfortable. I'm not saying this is in any way represent the culture in your company, but having seen this in real life (and despite myself identifying as a man) I felt like it really stood out.
