Opinions are my own
yes. i do remember meetings in conference calls and they were terrible.
I also do remember talking on the phone with girlfriends in long distance relationships or talking from phonebooths to my parents when I was backbacking in Australia before the Internet Cafe days. And all that was not a nice experience, while now I see my kids growing up with a relatively deep relationship with their grandparents even if they live more than 1000 km apart, thanks to video calls.
of course, we can't compare a daily scrum meeting with a call to your parents, but we can't deny that since we are spending most of our days working alone in our homes, having online meetings, not seeing each other would make our communication (and life) poorer.
Speaking of smells: one of the best benefits of not working from the office is that I don't have to smell the fish soup my colleague is having, nor the garlic bread they had yesterday, and i am free of any smell coming from other people body parts.. So, on this I agree. if anything like that is invented, I will be the first refusing the idea! :-)
