I've done the video conferencing many times over the decades. I just don't find 
it to be productive. Maybe it's some defect in me.

They usually go something like this:

"Who else is here?"
"Hello ... Hello?"
"Can anybody hear me? Is my mike working?"
"Where's Bob? Is he connected?"
"I just got my connection working again. What did I miss?"
"Bob? Bob?"
"Can someone go find Bob?"
"Can you say that again? The audio cut out."
"Bob here!"
"Hmm. We lost Bob again?"
"Fred, can you please turn off your motorcycle?"
"Bob here again! Sorry!"
"Fred? Now where's Fred? Fred?"

What has always worked best for me is a face to face over coffee and/or beer.

Which is why I'm missing DConf this year terribly.
