definitely remote meetings, it saves me a lot of time and we could really cut down the length of meetings. But a meeting in person every once in a while is very beneficial and fun sometimes.
@moritz_kaiser Why do you think that save your time ? Maybe you can be more focus on your task without being disturbed? And I agree, seeing people from time to time feels good too!
@enola_vedovotto Well for one point we were able to shorten actual meeting time, also you can just leave a meeting when it doesn't bring you any value without disrupting the speaker like you would if everyone was sitting in a conference room. Sometimes I can also do some tasks in the background while listening to my colleagues. But that is just regarding work. To stay excited about it it helps to drink a coffee together every now and then.
@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.
