I've got a feeling that most videoconferencing apps push for highest video quality, when the most important thing is audio latency. I wouldn't care if I saw my coworkers in 640x480 as long as I can hear them loud and clear and they can hear me the same.
I agree with you, as did my former work colleagues...BUT, this March i started a new job, and the people at this new job were very much used to work at the office, so working from home (due to the pandemic) is still very weird/tough for them...so they all want the highest quality of video to see each other's faces...and in my opinion it helps zero for productivity...it is all because it makes them just feel better ...they even all admit as much. So, clearly there are people out in the world who want features "just because", and that includes "the highest quality of video". <sigh>
I would think "decent quality" video would be preferable anyway. I don't need perfect detail of everyone's wrinkles and blemishes and they don't need mine, either.
