There is a growing trend to ditch needless meetings in favor of other ways to refresh your team members.
Async meetings, in a nutshell, are like instant messaging or social media.
Your dashboard shows all the chatrooms you have created or joined in Beseda.
Each chatroom has a name and a short description to state its purpose.
For example, the daily standup meeting has four points that participants will address in their daily update.
you could send the room link to anyone to join, and all they need is an account.
When posting a message, you’ll get a three-second buffer before the recording begins.
But instead of video calling, you share voice messages and screen recordings.
you might also start “channels” for different recurring meetings.
Participants can then reply to this message, creating a thread that stays on topic.
Yac also auto-transcribes all voice messages with an AI tool.
In our tests, this didn’t work particularly well, although that might be a result of accents.
There are two great reasons to choose Threadit over other async video message apps.
First is the message time limit.
The second reason is that it allows you to record clips, and automatically stitches it together.
it’s possible for you to also download your Threadit videos to use them in other places.
it’s possible for you to also set up multiple channels within that workspace.
you’re able to add filters and virtual backgrounds to your webcam recording.
Weet features robust video editing features, making it excellent for demos and presentations.
you could trim your video, add chapters and captions, and make GIF thumbnails.
Some features are paywalled for the premium account.
If you want the same features but in an asynchronous communication style, PingPong is a great free alternative.
Instead, in each channel, you create a new thread, and send messages in that thread.
The message can be text, audio, or video, where video also allows for screen-sharing for demos.
PingPong will also auto-transcribe your video and voice messages, but doesn’t do a great job of it.
Other participants can reply to the thread, or react to your message.
PingPong also features “Pings”, which is a personal task list.
A major reason for that is instant communication fostered by messenger and video calling apps.
