Why is the delay (ping) on professional TV video calls absurdly high?

572 views

So many times I see a guy video calling another crew across the country and it can take a solid 5-10 seconds before we hear them reply. I’ve seen kids in siberia with better ping.

It’s about cost. I use Microsoft teams professionally and Discord personally. Discord has much lower ping because that is a selling point. However teams has effectively no competition and so doesnt spend the money for better servers and better client that can get the delay lower.
