I can state as an IT Professional that video conferencing in various flavours has existed for more than 15 years, Zoom itself is a reasonably mature product (current version is 5.x). It's interesting that COVID has been used as an excuse to reduce business travel when the alternative has been around for a very long time.
You guys just don't get it, the guys predicting that zoom and the like will take over meetings. It won't, ever, permanently that is. It's like saying zoom will permanently replace family get togethers. It's used as a stopgap. I've been doing some classroom stuff via zoom and it sucks. It is not the same as face to face and never will be.
