I've been working from home (80+%)for the last 5 years and it's the best thing that ever happened to me. At the same time I have been taking classes from Coursera, Udemy, YouTube, Vimeo, BrightTalk, and more. I also have a Netflix subscription.
Losing some quality on Netflix didn't hurt me. Wathing trainings on 720 instead of 1080 was also just fine (and I do need to save locally, watch again, take screenshots, write on them, meaning I need good quality).
Most video conferences are not audio-only with perhaps a low-quality/bitrate screenshare. We are moving to the direction of "all of us" using it, and cutting corners in quality while companies gear up to increase capacity/bandwidth/throughput. It won't take a week, but once we get to the next level, and I hope we stay there (WFH, commute/polue less) we'll all be in a better place!
