1/ Video conferencing software still has a long way to go and I think there is still huge opportunity there for newcomers. Its core tech for remote-first companies. Everyone seems focused on the core problem but as more companies grow remote its time to go higher level.
2/ Support video categorization, sync to Dropbox, Drive, etc. Some do this, but others just give you a giant video file at the end.
3/ Provide a summary "segments" of who is talking and for how long. All real video conf software already does speaker highlighting so this data is already there, just needs to be persisted and utilized.
4/ Allow manual bookmarking of meeting sections, not asking for anything clever here. Let the meeting owner bookmark a keyframe as "Discussing topic X". This paired with #3 above will aid in repeat viewing and sharing.
5/ Natively support multi-device for "whiteboarding", i.e. using my iPad/iPhone to draw diagrams. This can be done today via some work (join on your phone, use draw features, hide video, mute audio, etc.) but would be better first class to map device:person.
6/ Support smarter sharing of media. The sledge hammer today is "share screen" but a few things are common enough to warrant native integrations I think: docs, PDFs, code browsing probably, etc. Will vastly improve mobile experience too.
7/ On media: more first class support would allow meeting summaries to contain a "discussed documents" attachment bundle too, which would help a lot with meeting context automatically.
8/8 I'll stop there, this wasn't a rant at all, I think there is incredible opportunity here and representing a remote-first company I'd love to see this tooling improve a lot more. I'm happy with our video conf software, but the above would be killer.
