### Video
Fleet uses YouTube to help keep the community up-to-date and informed. These videos facilitate community engagement, provide educational resources, and help share essential information about Fleet and the people using it. Meetings regularly uploaded to YouTube will have a "▶️" emoji prepended to the calendar event title (e.g. "▶️ ☁️🌈 Sprint demos!").

## Meetings
- **Plan to join meetings on time.** At Fleet, we start on time and do not wait for folks to join. As most of our meetings are conducted over zoom, please join with a working microphone and with your camera on whenever possible. Being even a few minutes late can make a big difference and slow your meeting counterparts down. When in doubt, show up a couple of minutes early.
- **Turn on your camera.** This allows for more complete and intuitive verbal and non-verbal communication. Feel free to leave your camera on or turn it off when joining meetings with new participants you might not be familiar with yet. Turn your camera on when you lead or cohost a meeting, or when you present your work during a demo session.

In an all-remote company, "face time" matters. Remember: even if someone's calendar is open, they have other work to do. Help each other by batching up internal meetings can enable longer, uninterrupted stretches of deep work.

### Recording meetings

Capturing video from meetings with customers, prospects, and community members outside the company is an important part of building world-class sales and customer success teams and is a widespread practice across the industry. At Fleet, we use Gong to capture Zoom meetings and share them company-wide. If a team member with a Gong license attends certain meetings, generally those with at least one person from outside of Fleet in attendance.

### Create a GitHub issue from a Slack thread
If you need to track content from a Slack channel (ie. #g-sales), you can automatically generate a github issue by selecting the `create-github-issue` emoji on the thread. This will automatically create an issue tagged with the #g-business-operations label. If you need the issue logged against a specific board, ensure that you have updated the label during issue creation.

What matters most is your results, which are driven by your focus, your availability to collaborate, and the time and consideration you put into your work.
