Do you think Remotely will help companies to stay remote working? A lot of companies seem dead set on returning to the office.

@maxie_godoy We've designed Remotely to provide social connection for remote working teams, so that people feel connected and coordinated. There are many benefits to people, communities, companies and families in being able to work remote, and it is very desirable to knowledge workers, who tend to be in demand. We feel talent will ultimately decide how they want to work. That said, the total number of remote working companies might settle at 25-30% of businesses. But this is still 5x times larger a market than just two years ago.
@maxie_godoy Hey Maxie, great question. It comes down the type of work the companies do and the culture they have. Now that a large majority of the work force has tried remote work, discovered the benefits, and that they can be just as affective (if not more so) working remote...it's hard to put the genie back in the bottle. We have some research projections that as high as 70% of all departments will have remote workers of some description by 2025. From what can spot from online job listings and work trends we're on track to meet this. It's out hope that we can make remote work more viable for companies by providing a social platform for their teams.
We've had so many great questions today. It's great to speak to so many people who are seeking tools to improve their teams remote social environment. We've also spoken to a few people trying to reconnect with relatives overseas as well as game enthusiasts, general tech and remote work champions. It's been a really interesting day so far. Thanks for taking the journey with us so far. ✈️

Can I save from the screen share
@ds_fam Hi Darshi, we have a screen picture function but I don't think it's best suited for screen capturing a screen share. Snipping Tool might be a good solution for that.
Mitchell Bassett
@ds_fam You could take a screenshot of your screen share, or you could save the page as a PDF
Darshi Sharma
If able to save, can it be saved on pdf
@ds_fam Hi Darshi, no sorry not at this time. But we'll make a note of the suggestion. I believe the team has had some early discussions about document share in the platform but I'm not sure where they are at currently.
Mitchell Bassett
@ds_fam You could save the page as a PDF which would achieve that.

Considering it’s all virtual, does it take up a lot data?
@shail_kumar Thanks for the question Shail. Not at all, we've specifically designed our assets to load quickly and load time to be short. All handled through your Chrome browser with no need to download anything. Once you've loaded in once, your cache builds up and it's even faster the second time around.
Mitchell Bassett
@shail_kumar only about 10% of what a video chat software like Zoom would take

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 Gene Harris here - CX Manager at RemotelyHQ 🤓 As a remote-first company Remotely set out on a mission to connect all remote workers of the world….through play! 🎲 There are huge benefits to remote work!.... but, it’s not without its challenges. In fact, they are the same challenges that have been around for 5 decades that have held remote work back: team coordination, team communication, worker wellbeing and isolation. 😓 As an Avid Gamer Founder Adam Berry made lasting connections with fellow gamers online despite having never met in real life. One day he asked himself “Why can’t I work this way?”. 💡🤯 So we’ve taken the best things about social gaming and built an avatar-based social hub with meetings, social games and activities for remote teams. Why does your team need this? Everyone notices a social disconnect while working remote. Lacking the common ground to form lasting social connections people can be left feeling isolated. Affecting their mental health, wellbeing and overall productivity. 😰 Without team cohesion this can negatively impact employee retention costing companies: > Recruiting costs > Onboarding costs > Lost productivity > Lost engagement > Customer service and errors > Training costs > Cultural impact If you had the chance to positively impact your team's culture with just 20 mins a week of structured activities would you take it? We’re really excited that our MVP is now live with FREE original games and virtual meeting spaces. www.remotelyhq.com If you have any questions, please fire away below in the comments. We’d love to hear what you think. Also feel free to join our community on Discord. https://discord.com/invite/bV65E...
