Our team is all default ON, but nobody is shy about turning it off if they need to do something that might be distracting or just don't want to be on video for any reason. It's a lot easier to visually signal agreement / disagreement in conversations that way without having to use your voice.
I'm always default ON when meeting with people outside our company as well. if anything because I'm used to using body language in conversations and it seems to move things along more naturally than it would with a phone-style meeting.

- icey 5y agoWe don’t use Slack for video chat.
- Mandatum 5y agoSlack is specifically non-video, heck, the Slack sales and product people I've video conferenced with were over Zoom (which they chose). I don't think this is relevant until they integrate that functionality.
- asdfsd234234444 5y agoSlack does have video chat support - but fair enough.
- Mandatum 5y agoGot a link/proof? They integrate with video chat tools and huddles supports voice.. Not video.
