“…As a result, much work has highlighted the potential of augmenting synchronous meetings with asynchronous communication, such as chat workspaces or asynchronous brainstorming tools, to make meetings more efficient and let workers choose when to engage [41,44,64,70,75]. Indeed, research shows that the shift to remote work has increased asynchronous modes of communication, such as emails and chat messages [85], and many workers perceive asynchronous communication, such as chat messages, as a positive way to follow up after meetings [6].…”

A recent surge in remote meetings has led to complaints of Zoom fatigue" and collaboration overload," negatively impacting worker productivity and well-being. One way to alleviate the burden of meetings is to de-emphasize their synchronous participation by shifting work to and enabling sensemaking during post-meeting asynchronous activities. Towards this goal, we propose the design concept of meeting bridges, or information artifacts that can encapsulate meeting information towards bridging to and facilitating post-meeting activities. Through 13 interviews and a survey of 198 information workers, we learn how people use online meeting information after meetings are over, finding five main uses: as an archive, as task reminders, to onboard or support inclusion, for group sensemaking, and as a launching point for follow-on collaboration. However, we also find that current common meeting artifacts, such as notes and recordings, present challenges in serving as meeting bridges. After conducting co-design sessions with 16 participants, we distill key principles for the design of meeting bridges to optimally support asynchronous collaboration goals. Overall, our findings point to the opportunity of designing information artifacts that not only support users to access but also continue to transform and engage in meeting information post-meeting.
