With concern about the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and people trying to keep at a distance from one another, there has been a huge surge in intrest in (and application of) video conferencing. What facilities do Plan 9/Inferno offer for making conference calls, 1-to-1 video calls, and/or video conferences? Assuming 9P2000 is used (with a sufficiently large msize to provide adequate throughput), what would the file system API look like? Could it be done in a peer-to-peer fashion, without having to send all of the video through a central server? It's an interesting question to ponder... and an apropos time to be pondering it.
