I video-mute for the same reason. My face adds nothing to the conversation, except to make me feel self-conscious. So I video-mute so I can give the conversation my focus, rather than my appearance. I don't want to take meetings in a panopticon.
- sethammons 7y agoYour face does add something though. We've evolved to be visual. If I'm just meeting you, an image goes a long way in cementing who you are in my brain. Seeing your expressions helps me gauge my message's reception. Is it absolutely required? Of course not. It is an additional value add to communication. Just like voice adds context you can't get with text.
