I've never gained anything from watching "body language" during a video call. A key component to body language is what the other person is looking at. But – you can't tell in a video call! I can't tell who's looking at whom or what – everyone is just blankly staring at "me". And half the time, I'm looking at relevant documents in another tab, so (a) I can't see anyone else's face anyway, and (b) the fact that I'm looking away from the speaker isn't reflected in the video feed. Growing up pre-internet blessed me with the ability to communicate effectively without body language, thanks to the telephone. I find that translates perfectly well to video-less conference calls.
