On picking the right medium when working from home:
2. Choose your medium
"Define channels for communication – email is not the best for everything. Use a project management tool to keep tabs of everything and everyone. Don't track your team with webcams. Track the progress of the task instead."
– Ka Kei Ho, Founder @getkapa99

The Water Cooler:
3. The water cooler
"Encourage 'watercooler' talk and photo sharing. No topic is too trivial! We want to stay in touch every day and have everyday conversation (and not only talk about #COVID19)"

On best practices for using Zoom and communicating over camera:
5. Don't lose your routine
"Stay in contact as much as you can. @SlackHQ, @zoom_us, whatever channels work for you. But keep your weekly cadence of team meetings and keep lines of communications as open as you can."
– @LeahHutcheon, CEO @appointedd

There is no such thing as too much communication:
10. Overcommunicate
"There is no such thing as too much communication. @SlackHQ and @zoom_us have essentially turned into our office. If something can’t be solved quickly in Slack, it is probably time to jump on Zoom."
– Matt Preuss, Marketer @VisibleVC
