The Problem With Internal Communication

Status meetings. Slack pings. Updates that nobody reads.
We keep sharing information – but often in inefficient ways.

With async video, internal communication becomes:

• Shorter
• Clearer
• Independent of schedules or time zones

🎯 And that’s exactly what makes teams faster, better aligned, and more productive.

Why Internal Communication Often Fails

You might recognize this:

• You write a long Slack update, but nobody replies.
• You schedule a Zoom call, but half the team is distracted.
• You explain something three times to three different people.

Text gets misunderstood, meetings waste time, and nothing sticks.

That’s why more and more teams are switching to async video – short, personal, visual, and easily shareable.

What Is Async Video?

Async video means you record a short video (for example, with your screen or webcam) and share it with your team via a link. Everyone can watch the update whenever it suits them.

This leads to:

• More autonomy
• Less distraction
• Faster decision-making
• Better understanding, since the update can be rewatched anytime

Research shows that teams with async workflows report up to 84% less meeting time.

When Does Async Video Work Best?

Think about cases like:

📊 A team lead sharing weekly KPIs
🧑‍💻 A product manager showing a new feature
🚀 A founder highlighting roadmaps or growth updates
📣 An HR manager handling onboarding or announcements
🧭 A team member replacing a daily stand-up with a 60-second clip

And the best part? Everything can be rewatched later.
No information loss, no repetition.

How To Record Your Own Async Updates

With Videolink you can record and share async videos directly in your browser – no installations or compression.

Here’s how it works:

1. Open govideolink.com
2. Click “New Video”
3. Choose whether to record your screen, camera, or both
4. Share your update
5. Stop recording
6. Edit the video if needed
7. Share the generated link with your team via tools like Slack, Notion, email, or directly with Videolink

Why Async Video Works Better Than Slack or Zoom

• With Slack, nuance gets lost.
• With online meetings like Zoom, time gets lost.

With async video, you get both back:

• Your message is visual and vocal – so it’s clear.
• No need to repeat yourself – the link remains available.
• No meeting pressure or “making time.”
• People watch when they’re focused.

The result? Faster internal decision-making, better alignment, and less fatigue.

And with Videolink you can:
