Group FaceTime calls didn’t exist at the time. That wasn’t added until 2018 and required iOS 12. Remember that Slack does simultaneous multiple participants screen sharing plus annotations plus HD video feeds from all participants plus the entirety of the rest of the app continues to function as if you weren’t on a call at all simultaneously. It’s an extremely powerful application when you really step back and think about it. It just looks like “text” and boring business software. | ||

And CU-SeeMe did that in the early 90s with even worse hardware: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CU-Schools.GIF Even more broadly, group calls were sufficiently widely implemented to get themselves standardised 29 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.323 > It’s an extremely powerful application when you really step back and think about it. It just looks like “text” and boring business software. The *entire operating system of the phone* is more powerful, and ran on less. | ||
