This begs to normalized and sold as a package for both providers and consumers.

The problem is that this effectively requires that you set up all the equipment in a place and make people come to that.

Not a great thing in the middle of Covid.

However, once Covid passes, perhaps WeWork should try this with all their real estate to avoid going bankrupt.

That's an interesting idea with WeWork.

I'd think that despite variations in environments in a home, there are either 1) enough accommodating tools to normalize (e.g., lights that have a variety of settings) or 2) the majority of the processes required to handle the variations are figured out (e.g., in consistently poor lighting, you need package B instead of package A).

I see some hardware packages for home studios going on sale, but nothing to the level of hardware/software integration necessary for the most effective online instruction/discussion.
