Yea, gaming is miles ahead of everything in this area. It obviously doesn't focus on video too much, but audio and text are on point.

Some videoconference solutions that are pushed on businesses aren't mature at all: in that Cisco thing when you mute someone it mutes them for everybody (not just for you), so it's hard to have a mixed conference because you eithe

Human is like your ancient software that was here since forever and somewhat worked fine. So everyone is used to it. (the difference from an actual software is that humans are based on some crazy nanotech from the future that nobody can com
