I've seen video conferencing do much worse, 80 years later.(Looking at ya, Teams). Especially on those 25 frames per second. Actually, that's probably higher than what most video chats seem to use today (~10-15-ish fps?). And I mean 240p isn't actually that much more than 180 lines (and 144p is obviously less) if we're being real just for a second.
