I was recently introduced to www.Loom.com which is this fremium screen recording app and website (no affiliation). Being able to have a certain type of meeting asynchronously has been a boon to productivity. The async nature of texting is great and adding the same thing for audio and video/screen recording has been similarly great.
Personally, I do not like video recordings. I find them inferior to text communications in terms of maximum bandwidth and bandwidth to cost ratio (time to write and read).
However, some people are much better at communicating or understanding material if its shown visually, which can be much more time efficient for both parties sometimes. Every format has a place.
