Has anyone used asynchronous video based collaboration tools?

Has anyone used asynchronous video based collaboration tools? Does that help cut down on daily meetings time.

I work remotely for a company and a lot of our time is wasted on daily syncs, brainstorming sessions. While these looked important when we were in an office setting pre covid, these feel redundant and hamper my productivity. Slack was fine but it does not do any justice to the tone of the message.

I would love your thoughts on this.
