It is useful, as we move from live meetings to online meetings, to evaluate which parts of the process can be managed synchronously and which can be asynchronous. When we are discussing, asking questions and building personal relationships, those aspects tend to lean toward synchronous. When we are conveying facts, walking through details, and doing things that require thought before responding, those things tend towards asynchronous.
A Meeting and a Webinar on zoom are very different. The audience has different access and different experiences. Even though both are essentially synchronous. So the structure of the event and the structure of the tool impacts the experience. It also can impact the effectiveness of the event.
