Also a fully remote company worker since pre-COVID, and I vastly prefer calls with the video on. It's the norm at our company. Facial expressions convey enormous amounts of information. Also our team silently claps for people which is admittedly quite silly but hey, we like it.
I'm rarely on calls without video, but when I am I find it jarring when voices just appear out of the ether with only a little flashing icon to indicate who it is I'm listening to.
To each their own!
- fleischhauf 2y agohaving worked with half a remote team from Poland which also never turned the camera on I can tell you that faces provide a lot better method of person disambiguation for Germans than polish names. (no disrespect to the Polish language or people, my lack of knowledge therof is to blame here)
