I recently tried to calculate this for my company. I wouldn't call it negligible, but the impact of all video calls turned out to be much greater than the impact of AI.

Of course that's going to produce a heavier load on your part of the infrastructure... That stuff is running locally.

Also, it's pretty easy to have effective calls and turn off the damn video. Most people don't need to stare at everyone staring at their computers.
