Yep. Apple is now primarily an OS company.

Great another camera in my house.

It is a bit weird that FaceTime is just getting pandemic collaboration features at the end of the pandemic. Hopefully, this teaches Apple something about building in collaboration features for everyone instead of always going for user lock-in all the time.

I would agree that it's not likely to dislodge Teams and Zoom, because Apple has rarely shown itself to be any good at building competitive corporate software (iWork vs. Office, Aperture/FCP vs Adobe, etc.)

That was me, and yes it's great to see it arrive.
