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.

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 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?
Anas Riad
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 :)

Prefer to listen. More of the podcasts are only audio-related so why should I watch the speaker? Of course sometimes I am watching the podcasts.

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?

I prefer listening to podcasts when I’m multitasking or on the go, as they allow me to absorb information without needing to watch a screen. However, I enjoy watching the same topics on YouTube when I have the time to sit down and engage visually, especially if the content includes demonstrations or visuals that enhance the understanding of the topic.

Depends on the topic and the host of the podcast.
Angela Ross
Podcasts are a great way to learn new things and keep up with the trends so I prefer podcasts.

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! 😄

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