Actually I disagree, see previous comment re: the Fridman/zuch interview.
The genuinely cool thing about that though... They aren't sending the video.
Instead, they convert both people's faces into skeletal meshes and only send the transform data over the wire, recreating the other person at the other end as a 3D model that is being animated using the transmitted animation data.
The bandwidth requirements are reduced by like... 100x
