What is the difference between asynchronous and synchronous presentations?
“Synchronous” refers to live presentations or meetings. They're great for connecting with your team and customers to collaborate at the moment.
But sync meetings come with downsides. It takes work to get everyone together simultaneously, especially from different time zones. And meetings can sometimes drag on because of a lack of preparation or missing context.
That's where async presentations come in.
Asynchronous videos eliminate productivity barriers by replacing and supporting live meetings.
They share critical context so your sync meetings focus on discussion and alignment. When you choose to have a live meeting after an async video, you can cut to the chase—everyone already understands your objectives.
Creating your first presentation recording
The great thing about async presentations is that it’s easy to start right now. Before your meeting, record a quick video to add context to your meeting. Then, share it. By adding context, you'll save a huge amount of time and get more done when you meet live. After the first try, it's addictive! Use async videos to reduce live meetings and boost collaboration.
