> I'd expect we'll get much more value from higher bandwidth, ultra high definition streaming and features like 3d cameras / virtual reality. I think we have a tendency to really underestimate how important high definition is for human communication.

Low latency is probably more important to me.

Recently I seem to have a 3 second delay on many VC calls at work (and just for me it seems), and I either end up interrupting people or feeling reluctant to talk at all since it becomes impossible to time gaps and conversations right.

Despite that I get a crystal clear HD picture for all participants, but I'd happily sacrifice video quality (in fact I'd accept audio only in some cases) to get a more real time experience (disabling video doesn't seem to have any effect).

If you're really willing to sacrifice video completely, at least for Zoom, and probably for lots of other videoconferencing solutions, you can call into meetings with your phone. In fact, I think Zoom allows you to join with the computer for video and the phone for audio, which might be the best of both worlds.

Yes, zoom supports that.

Slight issue in Toronto has been cellular system overloading and calls not being completed. But once on, no problem.

I can’t blame the providers though. How could they have predicted that people would use the service they’re paying for?

This can be helped with hand-raising (queue style) and a dedicated facilitator for each meeting.

This is a long shot - but are you running on battery while this is happening? Had some weird issues that worked themselves out by plugging in the charger. Probably had to do with power savings and cpu throttling.
