- haswell 2y agoThat really depends on the meeting and the nature of the information being shared. If you’re communicating purely technical information about a subject everyone is already aligned on, text is fine. But the information density present in facial expressions, vocal inflection, body language, etc. is significant and much is lost without it.
- _ea1k 2y agoMeh, I go to three types of video meetings. The ones where the speakers have their cameras off, the ones where noone watches the screen, and the ones where its a screenshare. You are right, though. If all your meetings are about persuasion, video and audio will be best. If someone is in a technical role and most of their meetings are like this, that's a bad sign.
