I think this is great and is a direction that is desired by many. But why is it up to a 3rd party to solutionise this? Why dont Cisco, Microsoft, slack, google etc all get together and devise a standard that allows this to take place. While they're at it, why not solution SIP TLS encrypted video calls as well.

Well, if they'd just all use Belkin switches and routers instead of that Cisco garbage, we'd make some real headway in that direction.
