For me the main benefit is linearization of the conversation: people understand the limitations of the medium and interrupt each other less frequently, so it’s much easier to both follow and join the conversation without monitoring the nonverbal interactions in the room. That’s what makes teleconferencing with multiple people much less fatiguing to me than real meetings. Assuming known people and no video, of course — only screen share please.
