My job does not compensate me for the space they take up in my home since the pandemic. They don't have a right to demand cameras on. If I'm not at the office, I can't be expected to always look presentable. What if I want to take the meeting lying on the couch with my dog? What business is it of anybody's?
> Why so many anonymous avatar rather than your observant face?
I have ADHD which means that I have been told that I need to pay more attention, pretty much my entire life. It's a challenge to look engaged, and taking my face out of the equation has reduced this for me, thankfully. The one upside about working from home is that I don't have to pretend to pay attention to conversations that have little to do with me.
> Why video call platform does not offer a feature to invite/force participants to put theirs camera on?
If we used a platform like that at work, I would put tape over my camera.
To address your original point, who says calls are more effective with cameras on? Most of my calls involve screen sharing, why should you or anybody else care if you can see my face?
