Tackling the One-on-One Meeting Dilemma

One-on-one meetings are the backbone of effective communication in the workplace. But let's face it, they can often feel like a drag, leaving both parties feeling disengaged and unproductive. We're here to change that by turning your one-on-one meetings into brainstorming sessions on steroids. Say goodbye to dull, directionless conversations, and hello to actionable insights and empowering connections.

Let's dive in!

The Power of Live Meetings and Video Recordings

Live meetings are essential for building rapport, tackling real-time challenges, and fostering a strong relationship between the manager and the team member. But, sometimes, these meetings can be time-consuming and unfocused. That's where recording comes in.

Recorded one-on-one meetings offer several benefits:

  • Revisit and review: You can watch the meetings later, identify key insights, and track progress over time.
  • AI-generated notes: platforms like Claap can transcribe your recorded meetings, providing a summary of important points, action items, and follow-ups.
  • Share and collaborate: Recorded meetings can be shared with relevant stakeholders to ensure everyone stays in the loop.

Asynchronous Video Messaging - When Time Zones and Schedules Clash


One-on-one meetings can be challenging when team members are spread across different time zones or have conflicting schedules. Asynchronous video messaging is the answer to this.

Here's how it works:

  • Record your message: Record a video message outlining the topics you'd like to discuss, provide feedback, or ask questions.
  • Share it on a dedicated topic: share your video to your teammate using a dedicated 1-1 topic, and your team member can watch it at their convenience.
  • Respond and collaborate: Your team member can record a response, ask questions, or provide updates in their own time. You can also use Claap's annotation feature to highlight specific points, ask questions, and add context to the video.

The Perfect Blend - Pre-Watch Videos and Live Meetings

Why choose between live meetings and asynchronous videos when you can have the best of both worlds? Combining pre-watch videos with live meetings can create more engaging and efficient one-on-one meetings.

Here's how:

  • Pre-watch videos: Before your scheduled live meeting, record and share a brief video outlining the topics you want to discuss, any updates or feedback, and any questions you have. Your team member can watch the video and prepare their own pre-watch video in response.
  • Live meetings: When it's time for your live one-on-one meeting, both parties will have already watched each other's videos. This means you can jump straight into focused and meaningful discussions, saving time and ensuring a more productive meeting.
