I have read various articles regarding video conferencing business seem to be displeased with it due to poor quality, drop outs in internet service and other tech issues. They also prefer the face to face meetings but wether they travel business class or not well maybe not in the short term but who knows.
We had some terrible video conference experiences early on but having done 1-4 per day over the last few months we are finding a way to make it work. MS Teams seems to be the most reliable and offer the best video quality.

My job requires me to physically inspect stuff but I would think my domestic travel will be less than half what it used to be once things are 'normal'.
