Using eMail for video chat isn’t really an option.

Lol. That's not how anything works. You also cannot use a hammer to replace the SSD in your computer. Sometimes you need to pick up a screwdriver instead.

What you want is the 'everything app'. Go ahead and talk to Elon Musk. See how that is progressing πŸ™ƒ

You can't use You can't use Slack for Video Calls? Or Teams? Or Signal? Or Threema? Or WhatsApp? Or Facebook Messenger? Or almost any other 1:1 chat app/protocol that survived long enough?

All of my examples were originally text-only messengers meant for sending text messages, pretty similar to email.

And even email didn't stay completely "pure", as, over time, it evolved file attachments.

By this logic you would be using email for video calls if you just patch in a Jira widget in your email client
