We\u2019ll dive into the text-based vs. video software discussion in greater detail below, but here\u2019s a brief snippet of what we\u2019ll talk about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Text-based asynchronous meetings are faster than video meetings because it\u2019s quicker to type and read updates than record and view updates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With text-based meetings, your team will be more thoughtful\/concise so you don\u2019t have to listen to long drawn out video updates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Going back to what someone said in a video update is hard because you may not remember what date it was, and there\u2019s no searchable transcript (vs with text-based meeting, you can just type in a relevant search term to find it).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With video, you can\u2019t analyze data as well or gain insights from it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Note:<\/strong>&nbsp;Geekbot is a text-based, asynchronous meeting software that is free for teams of 10 or fewer and integrates easily into your organization&#8217;s Slack&nbsp;or Microsoft&nbsp;Teams channel. <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/geekbot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Start your free trial today<\/a>&nbsp;and join 100,000+ users including teams within GitHub, Zapier, GitLab, Dropbox, Shopify, and more.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Benefits of Asynchronous Video Meetings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asynchronous video meetings&nbsp;work like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You film yourself giving a status update or covering your meeting topic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The video is shared with your team and they can view it at their convenience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This solves some of the more frustrating aspects of holding synchronous meetings&nbsp;via video call&nbsp;or face-to-face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Instead of long, bloated meetings, team members&nbsp;can complete their updates quickly. <\/strong>Asynchronous video meetings&nbsp;are a lot faster than synchronous meetings&nbsp;because they can\u2019t get derailed by side conversations, and teammates naturally deliver more concise updates (since they have more time to think through it before pressing record).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Instead of disrupting someone\u2019s workday, your team can provide their meeting update at their convenience. <\/strong>Here&#8217;s a familiar experience with synchronous meetings: you&#8217;ve started your workday, you&#8217;re feeling fresh, and have been working for 30 minutes on a challenging problem. You enter a state of flow, but suddenly have to get up from your desk to attend a meeting. When you get back to work, you&#8217;re exhausted from the meeting and find it challenging to concentrate and enter a state of flow again. This is an extremely frustrating problem that\u2019s naturally avoided with asynchronous video meetings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Instead of facing scheduling issues, now your team can record their meeting update at their own pace. <\/strong>Scheduling issues are one of the more annoying\/challenging aspects of running synchronous meetings. You need to check calendars, factor in timezones, realize that you forgot to factor in daylight savings time, go back in and update the calendar invite, and so on. Plus, the more people on the invite list, the more difficult it gets. You can spend a whole morning just planning one meeting \u2014 and that meeting could still end up requiring someone to show up outside of normal working hours as a compromise. This problem is naturally avoided when your team can record (and view) video updates <em>asynchronously<\/em>&nbsp;at their convenience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Asynchronous Video Tools<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;to Consider Using<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below, we look at three different asynchronous video tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#weet\">Weet<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#grapevine\">Grapevine<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#vidyard\">Vidyard<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"weet\">1. <strong><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/weet.co\/\" target=\"_blank\">Weet<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geekbot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-01-at-1.56.25-PM.png\" data-lightbox=\"gal[4784]\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"397\" data-src=\"https:\/\/geekbot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-01-at-1.56.25-PM-1024x397.png\" alt=\"Weet homepage: Collaborate with Video\" class=\"wp-image-4777 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/397;width:768px;height:298px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/geekbot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-01-at-1.56.25-PM-1024x397.png 1024w, https:\/\/geekbot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-01-at-1.56.25-PM-300x116.png 300w, https:\/\/geekbot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-01-at-1.56.25-PM-768x298.png 768w, https:\/\/geekbot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-01-at-1.56.25-PM.png 1600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/geekbot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-01-at-1.56.25-PM-1024x397.png\" alt=\"Weet homepage: Collaborate with Video\" class=\"wp-image-4777\" style=\"width:768px;height:298px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geekbot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-01-at-1.56.25-PM-1024x397.png 1024w, https:\/\/geekbot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-01-at-1.56.25-PM-300x116.png 300w, https:\/\/geekbot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-01-at-1.56.25-PM-768x298.png 768w, https:\/\/geekbot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-01-at-1.56.25-PM.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How does <\/strong><strong>Weet<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;work? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a very basic level, you start recording, and then share the video with the relevant team members.
