I think VR could be really cool solution to some of the problems with video calls, but the headsets are just too heavy at this point. I have an oculus quest 1 and can't stand wearing it more than maybe 30 or 40 minutes, it just hurts my face. I've tried adding weight to the back, etc., but haven't found a good solution. I have a 20th percentile head size (a really big noggin) so maybe I'm in the minority that wouldn't like this... yet. Maybe some VC could help push to lighter tech.

I haven't tried the Quest 2, but I hear it's lighter. Also have yet to try a Valve Index.

At this point in my experience with video calls, I'm just happy when everybody's wearing headphones so they don't get their audio dropped when somebody talks over them.

Valve Index is heavier but significantly has a better weight distribution. I'm able to use mine comfortably for up to three or four hours at a time.
