Last month I had my *first* meeting that a person did *not* have their camera on. There was a general unrest amongst the rest of the participants - Spawn Apr 7, 13:46
It’s an interesting contrast, because my wife is always on camera for calls. - znufrii Apr 7, 13:31 1
- Kim's probably 50/50. There's an expectation on some calls but not that many. -- nm - David Apr 7, 13:38
I hate IT! its pointless. -- nm - St. Epiphany Apr 7, 13:30 3
- It's about control. There's no business justification for it. -- nm - David Apr 7, 13:38 1
  - Exactly -- nm - Epiphany! Apr 7, 14:33
- I'm getting better at " my camera doesn't seem to be working" though. -- nm - St. Epiphany Apr 7, 13:30
I don't really like 'letting work into my home' like that. It's silly, I'm sure, but it feels invasive -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 13:29 10
- (I guess if I had an 'office' in my place it might be different, but my office is my living room) -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 13:33 9
  - At least you have a living room ;-) - JD Apr 7, 13:39 2
    - I pay a lot for the privilege of a bedroom and a living room that are separate rooms! -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 13:43 1
      - and conversely I get the cost benefit of only renting a room - JD Apr 7, 13:47
  - You don't use a generic background instead of your home? -- nm - David Apr 7, 13:37 4
    - I want people to see how nice and clean the one corner of my house visible on camera is! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 7, 14:20
    - Anytime someone else uses one of those backgrounds, if they move the background fades away temporarily IME so what's the point? -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 13:42 2
      - Depends on camera quality. Potato cameras get bad quality backgrounds. -- nm - spamlet Apr 7, 13:52 1
        
        I’ve seen enough things/people that weren’t meant to be visible that I have continued to refuse to do it - I don’t have a spare bedroom or - i.b.! Apr 7, 14:30
  - ditto -- nm - Max Apr 7, 13:36
