Quality video is definitely hard too, but it's just not as important.

If we have beautiful, well-lit video feeds if every participant, but no one can hear what they're saying -- that's a deal breaker. The other way around, if we have clean, crisp audio from everyone and inconsistent video, at least the conversion can still move forward.

Even just watching a random clip on Youtube, it's fairly easy to forgive a low quality video feed but bad audio gets really annoying very quickly. Any lag or stuttering or artifacts etc in the audio is a dealbreaker for most people.
