In what contexts and use cases do you see lo-fi video outweighing text or the traditional mediums most? I can see some use cases where this would definitely make since. As some of the other comments mention, I imagine getting people to initially using this new medium is key.

Good Question. With video, anything that carries emotional content or where tone/intent can be misconstrued (e.g., gratitude, announcements, feedback, following up).

With screen recording, we've learned that so many messages can be made more efficient by showing an asset while you talk (e.g., documents, presentations, designs). We even will show our IDEs while doing standups over PingPong.
