Worth reading the other comments from people (and cultures!) that prefer little to no eye contact. A prior discussion on the topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33003356 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33003356 As I mentioned there, personally, once I switched to WFH once the pandemic started, this was a total non-issue for me. I even switched teams and had all brand new coworkers. They never saw me and I never saw them. Everyone's totally fine with it. I mean, for many of us, we've often had to have meetings/calls with people in another geo anyway. People talk on the phone all the time and I've yet to hear someone say they didn't feel engaged talking to someone on the phone because they couldn't make eye contact. People fall in love that way all the time.
