4 Tools and Tips for Distributed UX Teams | Loop11
Summary
By leveraging technology and using some tools to aid in remote work, you can offset the negative impact that your business might have otherwise felt, and help provide your employees with a semblance of normalcy.

Zoom or Google Hangouts are great examples of video conferencing platforms that can help in case of longer discussions and provide the closest alternatives to in-person conversations. From simple pictures to more engaging videos, visual learning is something that can greatly benefit clients and designers alike and helps increase productivity and understanding.
