Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Chat can cause chaos, but it's too critical to remove. Threads offers an easy middle-path for teams to retain all their favorite parts about chat, while moving towards a more asynchronous, written culture. Threads are like twitter for work, which encourages punchy and easily skimmable updates & conversations, and fewer deluges of conversation that are impossible to keep up with. Breaking up longer thoughts into blocks lets your team skim, discuss, and decide on their time. Import your slack team into Threads. With built-in chat, you can bring in all your teams regular habits and content from chat, while encouraging a transition to more async-friendly platform. Record video narration over your thread. Talk through your thread to give your teammates additional context. The video is split up by block so it's easy for viewers to watch the parts that interest them, and for the creator to re-record any sections. With video narration, you may be able to skip your meeting entirely!
