Are you a camera's on or off type of person when it comes to Zoom Meetings? I prefer to have my camera off, but everyone else I work with seems to love to have theirs on. So I find myself caving and turning mine on. When did peer pressure go from partying and drinking to web cams and forced smiles?

It’s optional unless a Director or above are on the call! I find that policy works great

I’m cameras off. I don’t get people who turn it on

I just follow whatever the host of the meeting is doing, OR it can depend on how many people are in the meeting, too. I don’t really have strong feelings about whether my camera is off or on.

Depends on the meeting and who's attending. If it's a bigger meeting, there's an expectation we'll be cameras on. If it's just a recurring weekly, no one really cares, so I keep mine off.

Depends on how I'm looking at the time of the meeting. If I'm really casual in a highly professional meeting, my camera would def be OFF! If I put in some effort, then yeah, I don't mind having it on.

I like my camera off because I don't always have control over my facial expressions haha. Also, I don't always feel like brushing my hair each day.

Thanks!
