Depends on the platform. You can have equal sized frames on Zoom for example.

I look at everyone, habit from being inclusive during in person meetings. Problem is I know that it doesn't register a zoom call, and end up feeling dumb from darting my eyes around the screen lol

Idk, I don’t like looking at myself - I actively avoid mirrors unless I’m getting ready in the AM - so it’s pretty easy.

Just discovered a public slack channel (that very much should have been private) that a few women at my work have been using to bitch about the co-workers they don’t like. There’s a lot of very mean posts about several of the CDs, account people, producers etc. There’s quite a few hateful posts about me and my partner too 🙈 should I tell them?

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote.

I tutor ESL after school and recently switched over to Zoom. Students are stating that they are unable to annotate. I’ve read that this is common for Chromebook users. Does anyone know of a way to bypass this and/or any video/picture tutorials? Otherwise, it looks like we’ll just have to add an additional open tab with a google share doc. Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.
