I have never had a video call that had less friction then sitting together with someone. In my experience this mostly comes down to UX: almost everyone working is trained on how to behave in an on-site meeting, but not everyone knows how to behave in a remote meeting (e. g. muting and unmuting etiquette). In my experience there is also a bunch of jobs in the technical field that in principal could be done remotely, but suffer due to lack of technical knowledge of the person you are interacting with. An example I think everyone can relate to is tech support for your parents. In my experience that is a lot easier when standing next to them. And a lot of tech jobs are about explaining technology to people who don't have experience with that specific tech yet.
