I wish that deranged collaboration tool #teams are being tortured with nowadays would be more like its ancient predecessor: Microsoft #NetMeeting. Its feature set was ahead of its time and the clean, native UI was made for productivity. Unfortunately - besides being EOL - it doesn't support IPv6 & is based on H.323, which means it won't work behind NAT offhand.

Apropos ancient predecessors.. Did you know the NLS (oN-Line System), "a revolutionary computer collaboration system developed in the 1960s", supported videoconferencing back in 1968? The whole Wikipedia article is wild! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLS_(computer_system)
