15 years ago I was able to do Skype group calls just fine on the hardware available then. Since then, camera resolutions have hardly improved and yet MS Teams grinds everything else to a halt when a call starts. Just another example of things regressing. I think it has to do with a move away from tools that do one thing well to these Kraken platforms that want to eat your life.

Counterpoint: Coolplayer (http://coolplayer.sourceforge.net/ http://coolplayer.sourceforge.net/) is a fairly capable MP3 player, weighing in at ~500 KB. I've used it to play MP3's on 486's back in the day. The closest modern equivalent would be Foobar2000. Foobar2000 is much larger than Coolplayer ever was, but it's also far more capable, has plugin support etc. On the other hand, both players are small compared to some modern alternatives.
