Personally, the issue of video calls has always been not knowing where to
look. In conversation, most people tend to look at the other's face and into
their eyes. With video calling, one is looking at the other person through
multiple layers and for it to appear that one is making eye contact, one
actually has to look at the camera lens which feels like the lens is looking
back at you, not the other person. It is as if one has to feed one's eye
contact through a third party that isn't human, to boot. Does that make
sense? That and the lag time.
