No. I can’t get any visual feedback as I’m speaking so it makes me more nervous. I imagine the worst.

Same. With no visual feedback, and with the audience on mute, I'm stuck wondering if people are checking their emails or something. I can't tell if people are bored that I'm going over something they already know, or confused because they don't know it and I'm not helping. I definitely imagine the worst.
Same boat. It’s so much easier. I gave a webinar recently and basically looked at my dog the whole time so it just felt like I was teaching him about new data privacy regulations 😊

I’m not a natural public speaker and am a bag of nerves, but I’ve def found it easier hiding behind my laptop. Also, mentally I’m kind of rationalizing it as “this is not a real high pressure event because we’re online”
Easier because I don’t have to worry about things like tripping when I walk up to the podium etc

Yes! Exactly like you, OP! Because I don't see anyone looking at me (with cameras off) and being in my home, I somehow find the confidence as the pressure is off.

Yes
Haven't thought about this but yes...much easier than speaking in front of a large live audience. I feel like speak with much stronger confidence.

YES! I love not being in the physical room with people. And they have their cameras off so I can’t even gauge their reactions in real time - I love it sooo much.
