I do think you're on the right path. There's a list of things as a manager I appreciate about pingpong's potential:
1. More personable
2. Ability to check on remote employees indirectly
3. Seems like it can lead to more meaningful company communication
4. I don't feel I need to organize a video chat to convey things that may be harder to convey via text. It's nice to have a quick option to record and send.
These are the items that are preventing us from implementation into our daily. We have a small team of 8 people (3 designers, 1 customer service, 3 operations, 1 marketing)
1. We'd rather have a one stop shop for our communication (ie. ability to send files & code corresponding with the video)
2. Currently just resorting to a facetime call or slack video call
Regardless - I'm still going to push my team to use this and get some more feedback as it seems your team is using it more frequently than slack.
