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

542 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 because they are using a mobile satellite connection for areas without internet connection. Those have large delays as the satellites are high in orbit. It takes a few physical seconds for signals to be transmitted and received.
