“Can you turn on your camera?” Sure, but it's not pointing at me. I like good ergonomics, which means my work laptop sits besides my monitor and keyboard and mouse. So yeah, I can turn on the camera and have it look at the blank wall past my shoulder if you like that. I'll do the camera thing for really important or polite functions, but not for the daily stand-up or whatever. I had the misfortune of using Zoom yesterday. I've used Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Jitsi Meet (that one's nice), but Zoom really sucks. Somehow it manages to hijack the mute control of my microphone, which the others don't do (all using the browser version, no apps). I usually just unmute myself in the meet-thingy and mute/unmute myself with a keyboard shortcut which operates on the OS-level muting, but Zoom does not like that.
