The popup video is similiar to the popup person standing in front of my desk. Put it in an email/slack message and schedule meetings ahead of time to give other a scheduled period of time that other work isn't being performed while you want to discuss something else.

I think you're misunderstanding.

It starts with an async slack conversation. 90% of conversations go well and end with a shared understanding without much back-and-forth. Done.

For the odd 10% of conversations where you've gone back-and-forth a couple times, you ask the person whether they're available for a videochat. They either say yes, at which point you join a 3-5min videochat, or no they'd prefer to put a time on the calendar.

The above is not an immediate popup video.
