How does your team run daily stand-ups?

Daily standups used to feel useful.

Now they often feel like a slow, morning ritual where everyone repeats the same update as yesterday and politely says, “no blockers.”

The problem isn’t the standup, it’s the format.

Text-based standup apps tried to fix this, but they created a new issue:
updates became flat, impersonal, and easy to skim past.
You lose the tone, the nuance, the human connection.

That’s why we built Cadence around async video, not text.

You get clarity and personality, without the meeting.

Fast to record, easy to watch, and actually engaging.

I'd love to know if your team still get real value from live stand-ups, or are they mostly muscle memory at this point?
