I hate having my camera on, but leave it on all the time as it helps others in the meeting understand me.
Not only to tell when I’m muted and speaking, but when I’m about to speak or am confused.
It also shows when I’m bored and distracted. I’d rather the others know I’m distracted than not know and assume they have my attention.
The way I think about it is imagining live meetings where people have boxes over their heads. For me, it’s not a question about wanting to have my camera on, it’s about professional conduct. I mean, I don’t want to go to work either, but I do.
