The fact it’s a video call and I have to expose my hideous face to another human being.
@kjady There it is. Also, expose it to yourself. I like to hide behind my eyes.
The, uhm, video part…
The fact that this meeting, like pretty much all meetings, could have been an email.
My face. Also the dead silence, and then several people all try to talk at the same time, and then stop. And repeat.
Aside from seeing my face on camera, another bad thing is having to change out of my bathrobe and jammies and doing something about my smooshed hairstyle.
How about “All Of The Above”?
Most of my department leave their cameras off as it drags down the bandwidth of the call… stupid MS Teams. Except this one guy

@narfcake Actually, the BEST part of all the Zoom meetings I’ve had to endure is the pet photobombs!
I do not want to be on video I think it Steals my soul
The event that lead to my being involved in a video call.
All of the above and that one person with the audio that cuts out.
@Salanth Or the person with some background noise that’s really bad over the audio and they don’t realize it.
The MIME wanna-be; mouth moving, hands flailing, head bobbing. “You’re muted again!!!”
I’ve never video called so I don’t have a clue.
Half the time I don’t have my camera on. But when I do I change my background to the university’s school of medicine logo.
