Why do news channel video calls have a lot of awkward pauses and connection problems?

124 viewsOtherTechnology

Have you ever noticed that when news channels interview people on video, there’s often a delay between what the person on TV says and when the remote person responds? Sometimes, the connection even drops completely. I live in a third world country and I’ve had better video calls with people from other countries than some of the news channels I’ve seen. You’d think that they’d prioritize things like low-latency, stable video calls to avoid these awkward pauses. Why does this happen? Do they just not care or am I missing something?

Because in most video calls there are awkward pauses and connection problems. That is the normal situation. Especially when dealing with people who are not particularly good at video calls.

It would be rather ridiculous and unbelievable if there never were issues like that.
