When do you put video on / off for Zoom?

by•
Or whatever video meeting service you use :) Just wanted to hear some thoughts when you think you should put video on and off

For me - lockdown has really made me change my behaviour to have video always on, makes the calls feel so much more personable
True - I think we've changed how we approached video calls with the pandemic lockdowns!
Also congrats on Upflowy! I still need to check out your tool properly (Steward reached out to me about this!)
Thanks Richard! Let me know how you go with it
Always on. Only exception is if the connection's bad.
Funny enough this happens a lot in Australia LOL
Always off!
It's a good idea to keep it on. It's hard to talk to blank screens as body language plays a big part in communication.
That's true!
I usually join a meeting with camera OFF. Once I'm in and see if others are in attendance, I will turn it on. Occasionally I need to address something off camera and I may turn it off again to go handle that item and put it back on when I return to focus on the meeting.
Haha this is what I always do - good points
On if their's is on, unless I know them personally, then always on.
I always have video on. Sometimes though, its refreshing to have an actual phone call 👏
Mostly off. Except when it is a first time meet up with a potential client or interviewing a candidate.
Mm yeah fair points - interviews are definitely one of the key events that I always have my cam on
Always on.
Hi, Richard! In my case, it really depends. If I'm a part of a larger meeting (25+ attendees) then I turn it on only when I'm talking. If it's a smaller meeting it goes on a case by case basis. Cheers!
Very true - in large meetings I actually keep it off unless I need to talk. I feel like there's not much value going on if I do have my video on 😂
Exactly!
