&gt;I&#x27;m also considering not allowing video on the calls also<p>I&#x27;ve never considered live video of me a requirement in any professional or technical context a requirement unless I was actually doing something visual that explicitly requires it. When on the job I&#x27;ve never even bothered asking if it was ok to not have my camera on, and in interviews I&#x27;ve never thought twice about letting the interviewer know that I won&#x27;t have a video stream up. Sometimes its because I genuinely can&#x27;t (either poor internet or the fact that I don&#x27;t have a webcam for my desktop) or I just don&#x27;t feel like it. It&#x27;s not about some high-minded principle regarding discrimination or a tactical decision or anything, I just don&#x27;t think that video conferences add anything to audio in any situation except visual presentations or personal&#x2F;emotional contacts (GF or family). I&#x27;ve been in a LOT of live calls in a lot of contexts and I&#x27;ve never noticed the other party having any issue with this, no interviewer has detectably taken it negatively.<p>I&#x27;d also like to add that I don&#x27;t always have my camera off, just that I don&#x27;t feel any pressure to justify myself when it is turned off, which is most of the time.
