"Video buys time" ... I like that.

As one example, meetings over video (vs over audio only), when they require more than just simple fact exchange, can be a lot faster. And you don't have to go back and clarify agreements over and over, which we used to do more with audio only.

As another example, travel takes time. I just came back from a 6-hour meeting in Aberdeen (only about 85 flight minutes from London) but it took about 30 hours, including getting to airport, flight, cab to hotel, sleep, car to meeting, and then getting back. The meeting was in a location that didn't have video, and I was REALLY wishing that it did.
