You mention that you never said audio is less important, but they never said that you did so. That doesn't mean it can't be disagreed with. I completely disagree that good video is a sign of respect. I consider people wanting video on in the first place to be a sign of disrespect. It is rarely important for getting work done and I see it as a waste of resources.

> I completely disagree that good video is a sign of respect. I consider people wanting video on in the first place to be a sign of disrespect. It is rarely important for getting work done and I see it as a waste of resources. I agree that video is often unnecessary for effective communication, and I too avoid it whenever it's not requested. But there are contexts in which it's great, like occasionally seeing the face of a loved one, who lives far away; or helping debug an issue with a physical object (PCB, server rack, appliance...) that you need to see to understand what's going on. Especially in the latter case, having better video quality is just objectively better, especially if you can get it essentially for free.
