People have a lot of good reasons not to turn on their cameras, though.

If you live in a small house or apartment, there are often going to be other people in the background who likely do not want to be on camera.

It is one thing if people choose to work from home; you can have a reasonable expectation that they should have a proper work setup at their house.

That is not what is happening now.



Digital background on Zoom should help you there. One of my coworkers has their apartment with no people in it set as their digital background.


That's a cool idea!


also it's much harder to read the internet, check your phone or leave your desk during a call when you have video on. People did all of these back during the in-person days, but it took more effort or less caring. Now it seems S.O.P.
