This is a special episode of the Visual Lounge podcast featuring tips and ideas from a variety of team TechSmith about our products, including Camtasia, Snagit, and Audiate. We discuss topics such as asynchronous communication, connection over perfection, hotkeys, and editing out mistakes. There is also a special opportunity for a few folks - listen for Emmie Musser - who has an exceptional opportunity for the first 5 individuals to follow her instructions.

Find tips including:

• Keep it up—asynchronous communication is associated with a 29% increase in workplace productivity.
• Remember it's about connection, not perfection.
• Set a bigger goal that matters to you, perhaps increasing the number of people you can reach with video or decreasing the number of meetings you need to attend.
• Use Option-Z to zoom the canvas to 100% and Command-Zero to fit the video into the canvas.
• Set up hotkeys with Snagit to save time.
• Use the search in Audiate to find keywords and points in the video that need to be cut.
• Make big motions with your hands when making mistakes to flag for yourself.
• Use the pause button while recording in Snagit or Camtasia.
• Use the Snagit blurring feature to show employees steps without sharing private information.

Wishing all of our listeners the best of the holidays and a wonderful 2023 so that you can level up and continue to make the most of all of your opportunities to use images and videos.

And a special shout out to all of the TechSmithies featured in this episode who answered the call to record themselves and share.
