Viral 'I'm not a cat' filter is decades-old software

It's old software, it's not like there was much of a standard on how to apply filters and etc decades ago. Everything was a one off attempt to get the job done.

And even today everything about audio / video chat is wonky.

I'm always trying to figure out what application is using what audio or video device. Is the OS messing it up or the application or what is any given conference app choosing to use today ....

It's bad when Lego Star Wars is onto it:

Same here, even if Google Meet, Skype, Teams, Slack et. al worked last week will it work now after latest firmware- and software update? Many times it doesn't without tweaks and the UI might have changed as well. I would like a external physical device I can use for video meetings that guarantee 100% working without needing to tweak anything, I think a lot of companies would be willing to pay for that

Facebook is trying (tried?) that with the Portal, but it was only limited to Facebook Messenger IIRC
