At the same time, software solutions are still inferior to terminal variants of videoconferencing realization in terms of communication quality. It can be explained by the fact, that usual computers are not meant for such level of video and audio streams transmission, and special software can't fully compensate weaknesses of hardware. But if the requirements to high video quality are not crucial, this variant of VCS may be preferable.
Also, as a rule, the potential user gets acquainted with the principles of work of videoconferencing software solutions (the simplest ones are, for example, Skype videoconferencing and Zoom), he/she gets acquainted with its capabilities and potential and chooses the best variant for his/her tasks.
It is also worth noting a steady trend in videoconferencing, according to which the world's leading videoconferencing vendors strive to develop both approaches (hardware and software), as well as various combinations of both, to meet the needs of the widest possible audience.
