French term or phrase: vidéos-mail
Hello, this is from a company presentation about an upcoming intranet project specifically for HR personnel, this term eppears in a list of promotional tools available to HR managers about the company's new leadership strategy. The list of tools are "Vidéos-mail, DVD, clés USB et tapis de souris". Unless it means something like promotional videos? Or videos to order/by post? But it's strange that they'd offer videos as well as DVDs in this era of DVDs!!
