Remote Communication

🌍What Is Remote Communication?

Remote communication refers to how distributed and remote teams exchange information using digital tools rather than in-person meetings. It includes written messages, async updates, video calls, documentation, and recorded walkthroughs. Because remote teams do not share the same physical space, communication becomes intentional, structured, and written-first.
