- givemeethekeys 2y agoTo whom does it really matter? How do you know?
- gardnr 2y agoThanks for asking. I should have mentioned this is based on anecdotal personal experience. I used to have an ancient laptop with a bad mic and a low res webcam. I noticed much higher callback rate after upgrading. This is admittedly a small sample size.
- OccamsMirror 2y agoI agree with you that if you're doing a lot of remote interviews having a decent camera is worth the investment. I have no doubt that people will subconsciously judge people who have meet through a potato.
- nicolaslem 2y agoIn my experience audio is an order of magnitude more important than video.
- palata 2y agoIn my experience working in a remote team, what matters is the audio. Ideally a headset (so that your voice does not get cut while someone is talking) with a decent mic. Not understanding what the remote person says is very frustrating. Any webcam does the job as long as you can recognize the person. Anyway most people use this blurry background thingy, I really don't believe that the video quality matters.
