Was just in a Zoom call that covered US, Europe and Japan. Didn't notice any delays and sound was clear. We were using screen sharing but not video.

  This is absolutely incredible, unless it was a very presentational meeting. I can't remember ever having an overseas conversation without there being perceptible delay, regardless of transmission medium. You need under 20ms latency to be truly imperceptible, and probably under 150ms to avoid scenarios where people are often talking over each other. I wonder what their routes look like to make this possible?

    It's pretty much not possible. Their perception of delay is just not that sensitive. A transcontinental link might just be fast enough for 150ms, but stack on that all the buffering, codec delay, etc. and it's night impossible to have imperceptible delay.

    I'm not saying that there were no delays, just that they didn't stand out as interfering with the discussion. This is a group that has worked together for a long time, 30 years for some of us. I'm guessing there is an element of knowing each other's speech patterns from talking face-to-face that will help with knowing when to contribute.
