I often keep my video off, but there are a few cases where I make sure I am presentable, and have my video on:
1. Meeting someone online for the 1st time. I have a video on to create more of a human connection.
2. When asking for help. I don't want to be a faceless entity asking for help, I feel that if the other person can see me, they are more likely to provide assistance.
3. When there is a conflict. Similar to 2, I feel that it's easier to resolve disagreements when looking at even just a face on a video as compared with a faceless voice.
It might be that I am in a strategy team as opposed to engineering, so I have to collaborate and discuss items with members from other teams almost every meeting, and therefore relationships are much more important.
