Where's the fifteen year old IRC client which does hardware accelerated video chat from a web browser?

What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Except we have evidence: given a choice of Teams or IRC, businesses choose Teams.

People chose Skype because it was fast and it just worked. It stopped being fast and people moved over.
