I think the medium, that you're supposed to be using video by default rather than text by default, would encourage a team or company to start recording more and tapping at the keyboard less.

I'd compare it to the premise in The Expanse books where there's almost always a light delay for communication so people record video messages by default. When they are on a ship together then they default to audio only. Text is possible in both cases but its bandwidth saving feature isn't required. Now we don't need to save bandwidth anymore perhaps video makes more sense.

Also, if you are a remote worker then playing videos isn't going to annoy an open office full of collegues.
