Same. What I want out of every communication product is the same: reliable, boring, and get out of my way. Humans innately know how to communicate with each other. They know how to make jokes, get info across, make hints, etc. we don’t need technology for the content of the communication

We need the transportation. Make it reliable, fast, and non interfering. That’s it. That’s why Zoom rocks. It just works

We can boring as well. Just change the background to black and disable the ability of making any changes.

This is the point actually. If "boring" is your video call vibe, go for it. It's still an expression.
