Your standard promotional ski video usually amounts to a professional skier gracefully showing off their effortless skill at winter sports. Carving up the slopes with their athleticism, you watch in awe (and jealousy) as they make a mockery of mere mortals’ skiing skills with their twists, jumps and daredevil speeds.

Video conferencing is about as enjoyable as it is successful—anytime you and your coworkers have to partake in one you just know it’s going to be full of frustrations and annoyances.
