I see the issue on several of my machines. None of those machines run
OpenBSD (I use OpenBSD mostly for servers and routers). I have a
windows, a Linux and an Android phone and they all see those symptoms at
various degree.
Both the Windows and the Linux machines have eth connections and it goes
bad in both cases. In some case I can make do, in others, not so much.
The "netstat -s" does not show that much errors (relatively speaking on
the size of the bandwidth).

Good day.
I have a pretty good internet connection, supposedly at 1 G/s.
I have my openbsd router (Protecli hardware) just behind. This hardware caps
the connection at ~ 850 M/s up and down (this is what speed test and iperf
shows). Pretty happy for the setup so far.
I wish to improve the quality of my video calls (be it on MS Teams,
whatsapp, zoom). The connection is not great, with the sound and the video
not synchro and some lag. I noticed similar things during gaming.
What should I do to improve the connection ? What info can I provide so that
you points me towards good solutions ? Should I share the PF conf ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
FWIW, I have my workstations behind two (i.e. in series)
firewalls/routers (PC engines APU1) running OpenBSD, and have had a
couple of MS Teams meetings happening along with some video streaming,
without any issues. Nothing special on the pf.confs, other than
prioritizing TCP ACKs.
Do see the issues you describe on more than one machine? Do they run
OpenBSD, or other OSs? Do any of the counters on `netstat -s` hint at
something?
