The background music made this almost unlistenable. Almost like it was two different songs at the same time?

useful information. But music is annoying.

Do you provide consulting services to setup a remote team company for R&D clean mobility

Very informative! 100% agree! What that doesn't get measured, doesn't get managed. And if you don't meet people on a set time and rhythm, people can easily get distracted and tasks often don't get done effectively.

Your editor made the music too loud. The music needs to be in the background, but it is too punchy.
Reply@deannie39
Don't let your music be distracting to the spoken word *cough

Numbering wasn't in sequence and there weren't 21 rules – many missing – I guess you were checking whether everyone is paying attention. Anyways, good info.👌👍

Reply@microgeen9357
amazing video, one note though, please lower the volume of the music, its so distracting
Reply@brentonstewart3317
The music makes it seem like what you have to say is not important enough to listen to on its own … get my point ?
Reply@brentonstewart3317

About the watercooler idea: what if people generally don't want to spend their social time online? Can you expect them to socialize online anyways?

I didn't like the music background, but nice content ✌
Reply@rebeccaspence2989
Good content but the background music is VERY distracting
Reply@allisonnewport5414
These were helpful tips, but I had to exit the video halfway due to the background audio being too distracting. Hopefully other videos of yours have a lower volume for the background noise!

Where is the indexing with timestamps linking to the chapters in the video? Like Below
Reply0:00 INTRO
0:20 COMPENSATE FOR IN PERSON INTERACTION
1:25 CONSTANT VIRTUAL CHATROOM
@WanderingAroundAZ
Sorry. I can’t finish watching this video because of the background music.
Reply@aprilalvarez6532
FEEDBACK… The music is louder than you are. next time it should be a more faint background if necessary.
Reply@christineamparo3696
I don't know if it's just me but after the tip number 6 you skip to tip number 9. Where is 7 and 8?
Reply@MiataBRG
Maybe ditch the 'background' music that you're competing with
Reply@this_is_mattia
bg music is so loud.. hard to hear you man!
ReplyBut thanks was useful
@roberttilden3547
interesting topic but the background music spoils it
Reply@eastcoast4233
Question. If a group of people working for a company are remote and they have individual projects, rather than the shared projects envisioned by scrums etc, what makes them a team and gives them a sense of a shared culture and belonging? Real question honestly. Post pandemic my team of staff will really only have me, their line manager, in common as they will be primarily home based. We will only need to come together for team meeting type discussions about processes and other changes affecting us individually equally. They can give each other ideas and advice on their own work but they don't actively collaborate. I'd like to support them to have a shared sense of being. Currently all YouTube videos I've seen are on collaborating teams, would be great to hear more on this different kind of remote setup. Thanks.

Hi also if you are experiencing the overwhelming aspect of managing meeting, you could checkout Teemly, it's a saas solution that incorporates team meeting management, booking, and more. Would love to hear some feedback on this as I'm also a developer working on it 🙂
