An important thing to note is you would have to use the speakerphone
to do video calls (unless you're always on BT headset or handsfree,
which is not true for an overwhelming majority of people) and this
compromises privacy in a big way…no one wants people nearby snooping
in on their conversations.
Would love to hear your thoughts on why it hasn't taken off yet?
One guess:
A) When you've got anything worth displaying in the video, it's also
often too loud and/or impolite to speak through a loudspeaker.
Everybody else is there too. Imagine a shop, an office, or a museum.
B) When you're in a place that you chose for privacy to make the call,
you'll look creepy in the video. Just look at all the self-made webcam
videos in Youtube and you know what I mean.
It's a bit hard to find a scenario where the comfort of using video
overrides the discomfort of using the very same video. That's why I
believe that private video calls will continue to be an edge case.
However, I believe that video conferencing will grow its popularity.
It is OK to be a little loud in a meeting, because the room is likely
to be free of outsiders. Video also helps to interpret who's speaking.
In private calls it's obvious.
Thanks,
Petteri
