The naked thing, sure, weird, but maybe the camera was on by accident. The swastika is used in some countries as a religious symbol, among other things. Tourist maps in Japan when I was last there still used it to represent temple locations.

>The naked thing, sure, weird, but maybe the camera was on by accident. I have the advantage of a separate office but one reason I'm basically never in my office, much less even on a video muted call, unless appropriately dressed. (To be clear this needn't mean dressed up but at least T-shirt and gym shorts.) Too easy to hit a wrong button or otherwise have something on that you think is off.

  Physical camera cover; even if it's a piece of electrical tape.

    A lot of detached webcams come with flip down privacy guards.

      I think the newer Logitech ones do; I have an older one. I think my point still stands though. You can make a mistake. Of course if your computer is looking at your bedroom, not much you can do other than be careful about your camera not being on and/or privacy shield down.

> but maybe the camera was on by accident. Am I the only one who has the rule of "don't do interviews naked ever under any circumstances" or am I just out of touch nowadays?

  I’ll generally never get naked in front of where my webcam is, but I’m also fortunate to have enough space where I have a dedicated office separate from my living space. Honestly, I’ve felt really weird the few times I wore a tank top, and it wasn’t even an interview.

  All sorts of weird stuff happens. I worked for a place that used awful body shop contracts and people would play all sorts of games to sell fake candidates. Usually the company would underbid to get some placements, and have a small, smart team back in India or Russia do the actual work remotely. The guy on site would be a fake person who would say yes to anything and ship work to the guys in the backroom. The interviews were… interesting. People with disguises, dark rooms with grainy video feeds, etc.
