@srishty_chaudhary exactly, I love to be able to tell myself that I can see for example my family that is far enough away or friends because I could work from home
The cop out answer is it depends. So long as everyone on a remote call has reasonable video and voice, it kinda just depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
That being said, there are now so many great multi-player tools (e.g. Google docs, Figma, Miro) that work great when everyone is looking at their own screen. When everyone knows how to use them, I find those meetings to be really productive. Anyone can contribute instead of just one person driving the meeting.
@product_at_producthunt I agree with you, it all depends on the type of mission and the personality of each person. But it is certain that tool level, especially with the novelties that arrive in launch on product hunt, we have something to be productive!

@product_at_producthunt I don't think that's a cop out! I'm the same way with my team. Whilst remote meetings are great for day to day crap, I find that for my team being all in the same location (face-to-face) can really unlock creativity.
It's easy to sneakily open your emails on video calls and get distracted doing other work. Where face-to-face it's harder to do that.
What I've implemented with my team is quarterly face to face meetings where we plan out strategy, roadmap and any large campaigns. This seems to work well.

hey! great question... i have found it depends on what you're working on... as a designer meeting in person to scope + vibe on different challenges is much easier where possible irl
doing code reviews, growth and content is much better async over video and voice
@christianagraves Totally, it depends on the missions we have and whether we do them as a group or alone. That’s why I love the hybrid: part of the week in the office and part of the week working from home

@christianagraves samesies! I hate doing iterating on designs and ideas are much better and easier in real life, although the annotate feature on Zoom etc helps, still not the same. But other than that, I'm ok with remote meetings :)

Office meeting with clients, prospect and customers and remote meetings for internal matters!
@alexandracote yep, it's depend of what you prefer, personally I like the hybrid, I find it nice to be able to see my colleagues in the week and that we are working on common topics at this time, and to be more effective on my own files alone at home for example
Office meetings provide more efficient and smooth conversation climate. On the other hand, you can join a meeting with pajamas at home. I think they should be balanced.
Even tho sometimes I miss the presence of people, I must say that remote meetings are totally preferable in my case...
You can do it from anywhere, you do not have to have certain manners, dressing codes, etc... It is so relieving!
On the other hand - the most important feature is freedom :D
Usually, meetings in at least 50% of the cases are wasting of own time that you can spend more productively. Remote meetings definitely allow you to use your time better even during calls. Even in simple ways such as ''oh let me prepare coffee while I am listening to this''. Doing something else in group meetings while listening is something widely unacceptable due to people's prejudices of not having a full focus. I must disagree, and I believe everyone knows when a full attention mode has to be totally on, and when is just enough to hear, understand and adopt knowledge... ^_^ All my likes to remote meetings! ^_^
