The video for status meetings has turned them from "barely tolerable" to "almost enjoyable" for me. I don't think most of the people in MV quite understand how bad the prior experience was.

Yeah, next step, stream all the other project meetings in the same way!

From the perspective of someone who's not deeply involved and maybe is only interested in a third or half of the information, plain text is still better, because you can easily skip whole paragraphs.

I'm sure the video is nice for people who want most or all of the information that's presented, though.
