My experience mostly matches yours. I keep my camera on in standup, 1-on-1s, sometimes during planning/grooming/etc but usually off. The only one that gets me is the standup- we all work remotely, so the standup is the only time that I interact with some members of the team. It kills me that I literally do not EVER see some of their faces. It's hard to think of them as a coworker/friend if the only interactions we have are minimal text messages and some voice chat. Anecdotally, when I started at this new company, one of the coworkers on my team always had his camera on. At some point over the last year, he started keeping it off all of the time (I think he had to start taking care of kids more often, so they were sometimes in the room with him). I really feel a lot less connected to him than I did when I saw his face every day and our interactions have become a lot curter (but maybe that's also because of the kids haha) Like somebody else said in the comments, if nobody else has their camera on, I'll still keep mine on more often than not. I feel like if people see your face more, they'll think of you more often when they need to ask for help (or when they're giving out promotions...) and I love helping people out.
