Ask HN: Why, techically, is video conferencing so bad?

Television interviews nowadays are worse than the radio interviews of my youth, with so much of the sound being garbled. It would seem sensible to switch to audio-only when bandwidth is limited, but this appears not to be the case. Another solution might be to insert a delay for buffering, to cover rough patches. Things do not have to be exactly synchronous -- people can get used to saying "over" at the end of a sentence and waiting a few seconds. The problem seems to occur with multiple software systems. I wonder, can anyone on HN point to a technical treatment of this issue?
