I think that the mikvah witness through webcam is not a good idea. I am not in principle against technology for Jewish law, the requirement is that the convert must completely immerse in the water of the mikvah, so that even one hair is not sticking out, the webcam might be missing perspectives that a live person would catch.
I think that the method could be used only if there are absolutely no other jews in the area or that a public conversion might be dangerous(like in the middle east)
You seem to make a lot of jumps here. A dirty mikveh leading to infection, is a lot different than being separated by a great distance. Hearing the chazzan and so still counting in minyan because in same room, is a lot different than webcam.
Siddurim were extremely rare, to non-existent, that is why they wove flags, because those who couldn't hear the chazzan, didn't know the prayers, and didn't know when to reply.
No...where is the sense of the community?
