If you're anything like me, you awkwardly wave as if you were a 5 year old seeing your best bud in the lunchroom at school.
We’re on camera for all meetings except for Fridays
I go on camera maybe once a quarter. Generally speaking, I do not go on camera unless I am specifically asked to be on camera at least one day in advance of the meeting — being ‘camera ready’ does not add to my quality of work and having to look like I am in the office when I am really at home seems silly to me. Also if slides are being shown I see no reason for anyone to be on camera (and honestly distracting to see people’s little heads moving around in thumbnail when I’m trying to pay attention to the presentation).
I agree. The whole being forced to be on camera is complete nonsense to me. Usually what happens is when we’re reminded to be on camera people will do it for the next 2-3 days worth of meetings. Then more and more people gradually stop going on camera. I don’t get the need for it. It doesn’t make us feel any closer to coworkers. And the fact people keep having to be reminded to be on camera is a clue that people don’t enjoy it or see the benefit of it.
At my job all zoom invites imply that all participants will have their camera on for the call duration
I usually treat it as if I were in person. That seems to be the best strategy.

Interesting… some folks on my team just… don’t go on camera. Ever.
