Working remotely often means back-to-back scheduled meetings and a constant barrage of text and email notifications. The result is exhaustion. But that doesn't mean coworkers don't want to talk to one another. Ad-hoc conversations are energizing and foster stronger team connections, which is why Remotion built a video workspace designed to enable colleagues to virtually "glance over" at one another and just start talking. Remotion CEO and co-founder Alexander Embiricos and Greylock general partner Sarah Guo (who sits on Remotion's board) talk about how Remotion is helping companies build a talk-live culture even while remote; how early customers are using the product; and his vision for the future of work.
