There isn't much room for half-commitment while on a video call and the interpersonal aspects of the job come to the front. This changes the way one works.

But it isn't quite that novel. Face-to-face interaction we have in the real world can be viewed as high-quality "video communications". Technology is merely making it affordable to do the same at a distance and without losing much of the quality.

So, most of the old etiquette simply migrates to the new medium. For example, if you don't go to work in pyjamas you probably won't take a video call at home while in your pyjamas either.
