It's not that relevant for video conferencing, most apps are still either doing H264, VP8 or VP9 and jumping to AV1 directly.

And for video streaming, AV1 is becoming increasingly used on Youtube and Netflix for example ( https://aomedia.org/av1-adoption-showcase/netflix-story/ )/.

It is used a lot more for people who don't have to worry too much about licensing at scale, such as pirate content or local streaming (quite often backed by an OS wide license). Doing a quick search on various pirate content search engine, I can see a lot of AV1 content now, so it'll eventually get more popular!
