How often do you actually appear on camera in virtual meetings? Do you like having video meetings?

I am a very camera shy person so back to back on camera meetings really drain me. Does anyone else feel this way?

Generally on camera all of the time
Yeah if it’s a big group meeting I rather avoid trying my camera on

Depends on the meeting and what everyone else on the call is doing. But generally off of camera except for one on ones. I just tell people I'm eating so that's why I'm not on camera.

I'm not a fan. I think anything which can be done asynchronously should be done that way. The only exception is 1-1 calls where you are actually meeting someone. Then, having video calls feels important, because there is a lot that gets missed if you can't see someone's body language.

I try to appear all the time. Working on innovative products/products while being remote can be challenging... So I try to use video to help with overall communication. It is said that 55% of communication is nonverbal! 😱

@macorin I always appear on camera in virtual meetings. I find that it helps me to be more engaged and to feel more connected to the other people in the meeting. I also think that it helps to build trust and rapport. I do like having < href="https://spotibuzz.com">video meetings, but I think it's important to have a balance between video meetings and in-person meetings. In-person meetings are still the best way to build relationships and get things done.

@macorin @aqib_bhutta Absolutely, Being on camera boosts virtual meeting engagement. Balancing video and in-person meetings is key for connection. In-person meets build relationships effectively. Speaking of innovation sewer camera manufacturers exemplify how technology shapes industries, streamlining sewer system inspections. Virtual and real-world interactions both have unique value.
