I don't look at video following Wittgenstein's dictum (Tractatus) but commend you on recognizing the tool that have ruled us - since the begin of history. Next step: Come up with solutons and start realizing them. I am starting on the latter.

Yes I take your point about the Tractatus. I feel much the same way about the book. But video also adds something that text doesn't give ie that without words, wouldn't you say. I do propose some - limited - solutions.

Of course face-to-face communication is far beyond the written word - and video (less so when not involving the listener) retains some of that non-verbal richness which lies in the emotional expression of the participants and how one resonates and syncs to that (both ways) - but the question is whether THIS TOPIC needs that. BTW, my "solution" RELIES on that non-verbal expression - and we could share notes on our solutions (where you might start with sumarizing yours in the spirit of Wittgenstein for my benefit😉) though I will do so only in a "private" context.
