Will It Last Post-Pandemic?

Companies are set to work from home until January 2021, which will likely lead to a shift in how we interact with each other remotely.
Tech giants have benefited from people being stuck at home, leading to new developments like Watch Together.
Most companies will still have restrictions on how many people can be in one room even after people are sent back to the office.
Features like Watch Together might well be here to stay due to these restrictions.
