We generally do our standups with the cameras off because we're screensharing the JIRA board, but every other meeting is highly encouraged to have your video turned on. This was a decision made back in March when we shifted to full remote.
Personally, I find it really good for maintaining a personal connection to co-workers when there is video.
(I should point out that all of management from the CEO down to the Engineering Managers all turn on their video so it sets the expectation. Also, it's startup, so we all know each other really well.)
- ivanleoncz 6y agoI definitely agree. If integration and teamwork is required, how would it be possible, if you never saw the face of your partners? I mean, good code is what makes the difference, but still, we are not machines. There's a layer of communication between us, that shouldn't be ignored, which is a part of the bound that a team should have. Just my opinion. Thanks for sharing this, Osiris.
