I am not a dev. I need to coordinate with my coworkers during the day. And since we dont have documentation for every miniscule step a team mate performs, we need to actually talk to each other from time to time.

I am sure as a dev, with sufficiently large work packages, WFH is just a breeze. But not in my job.

What's your job and why can't you co-ordinate async?

"remote but still sync" feels like a major failure mode of being remote to me. Being able to work and communicate async is important for productivity in a remote environment.

Record async video.

Someone clicking and talking through a question or process at the time that works best so a meeting isn’t needed unless there’s disagreement.

It’s amazing.
