I had a meeting on hubs.mozilla.com which is a WebVR meeting room and it was pretty cool/fast but we kept getting distracted by throwing VR objects around. It's open source though so you could make your own version and disable those features.

I just tested the hub and its really interesting experience even without VR equipment it is a good move toward quality meetings with far less bandwidth usage. :)

That is very neat! Definitely an experiment worth keeping an eye on in the next few years. As noted in another comment, the lack of expressive facial mapping will be a problem for making this a truly comparable experience for basic communication the way video call provides, but very cool!

I really like to see this coming from Mozilla. I definitely support their efforts over, say, Facebook. I still fear Facebook as the undeniable winner eventually with all their resources.
