The explanation by IM/em can be troublesome because it could be out of date.

- breischl 3y agoI know many people love video, but I personally think this is only slightly better than not recording it anywhere. Video is much harder to search and nearly impossible to skim, so it's difficult to use for anything other than a classroom-style "let's sit down and learn" session. Most often I'm looking for some particular piece of information. Finding a video that _may_ contain the answer _somewhere_ in the hour (or whatever) of information just means now I have to decide on the likelihood that it'll be worth trying to watch. Yes, some things are better explained in video format. But not very many, especially in knowledge work. ETA: Also video is much harder to update as the situation changes. For the most part you just need to re-record the whole thing, which probably isn't going to happen.
- j45 3y agoThese are great and specific scenarios. I'm working on a solution for all of the points noted above, including updating video. Would be happy to chat to learn any more you may have :) There are different tools that handle aspects of the valid things you're pointing out.
