Ask HN: Camera off during most of the meetings?

For the ones who work remotely and interact via video calls: what’s your experience? I find that most often than not: - camera off during daily standups. Most of the team (if not all) do not turn on the camera “just” for the standup. I kinda like it (because I wake up like 15 min before, so not my best face) - for 1 on 1s, camera always on. Haven’t found anyone yet who does 1 on 1 with camera off - for team meetings that deal with grooming, technical discussions, planning, retrospectives, etc.: usually off. Maybe 20% of the time, someone turns on the camera. But 100% of the time there’s always someone not turning it on - for meetings with other teams: there’s always more people with camera on (around 90%) - all hands meeting: majority with camera off - socializing video calls: camera on (it’s a non mandatory session, so the ones who attend do so properly) I have worked with people mainly from Europe, Middle East, and Africa. Zero experience with people from Asia and America.
