Hi Rupal,
I prefer podcasts because I can easily tune in while doing other tasks. They offer great flexibility and convenience.

@muhammad_g Podcasts never get old
Do you have any favorite podcasts or genres you enjoy listening to while working?

I usually have YouTube in the background playing and listening to it without video. Especially, when exercising. Consuming the content differs according to my activities.
When I want to know something about a visual topic or try to learn something – I watch.
When I exercise – I listen to.

@busmark_w_nika YouTube can be used as a podcast as well nowadays :)
@busmark_w_nika Do you have any favorite channels or types of content you follow?

@rupal_saini Sure, most of them are but in the Slovak language or Czech. When it comes to international, I watch exercise videos. 😅
But eg Colin and Samir are good video casters :)
@busmark_w_nika Same here! YouTube for the win! 😄

I prefer listening to podcasts, especially while driving. It's more relaxed, helps pass the time, and I can learn something along the way.
@bonvisions That's great! Do you have any favorite podcasts that you recommend?

@bonvisions A lifelong learner mindset for the win.
That depends on what I'm doing, but unless it's a how-to-use/do something video where you have to actually pay attention, I rather listen to Youtube than watch it, and I like listening to podcasts while exercising. Much like the previous comments 😉
I should definitely try that too! I usually just listen to music while exercising. Podcasts might be a fun change! 😄
Watch on youtube
Usually yes.. While working from Home.. the best thing I prefer is to listen to a podcast under my preferred genres... Literary all I do is take the headphones out when its not the meeting time and start the podcast and keep my work going..It somehow helps to focus as well
@shantanu_deshpande3 I might try that myself. Any favorite podcasts you’d recommend?
watching Videos as we can hover over unnecessary things if in a hurry

@alavya_pandey It's true that you have more of a structure with YouTube especially since they introduced timestamps in the videos.
Usually I like to listen to podcasts while doing my work
Watching the same topic if I like that topic

Actually it varies for me. When I am driving, then I listen and when I am looking for some interviews that interest me, then I watch. How about you?
@amit_arora I also like to mix it up based on the situation. I usually listen to podcasts when I'm doing tasks that don't require much focus. When I’m looking for deeper insights or need to follow up on specific details, I prefer to watch.

I would say YouTube because it gives you the ability to:
- Watch while listening
- Listen and leave your phone in the pockets (like a podcast) if at the gym or walking.
You get both worlds with YouTube :)
@anas_riad Yeah, I agree—YouTube Music is my go-to as well :D

I like ti listen podcasts.
YouTube. For some reason I just don't like the podcast apps 🤣
@nathancovey @nathancovey Haha, I was in the same boat not too long ago, but now I’ve come to enjoy them a lot
@rupal_saini Podcastss.
It depends on what I'm doing. I usually listen to something while on the go or before bed. If I have the chance to watch, I prefer that. But if I can't, just listening works too. So, my choice is YouTube, where I can listen in the background and watch when possible! :)

I usually have an educational YouTube going when I'm working.

I'm used to using yt for everything, I've almost never listened to a podcast 😅
Podcasts are a great way to learn new things and keep up with the trends so I prefer podcasts.
