When I got a MacBook from work, I went and bought a webcam as well, and chose a 'just adequate ’ 720p webcam that served the purpose without showing every pore on my face in super high resolution. It was just adequate, and I was very happy.

Enough schnozz there for everyone to boop

Because if my camera is on they can see that I’m getting actual work done instead of listening to people that can barely do their job run their mouths to make sure the boss notices they exist.

If all humans where this adorable in video calls, I would like them even more! 💜

Luckily asking that is almost illegal in Finland. Most don’t even have profile pics.

Suit psychology is so different from tech workers. they don’t understand why tech workers don’t want to live stream their private working area and tech workers don’t understand why suits are obsessed with looking at people in meetings

I always put Magic Tape™ over my camera. When you turn it on you get a blurry image as if you were looking through a frosted window. You can make a show of wiping it and tell them that the lense must be damaged. Worst case scenario you get shipped a webcam or a new laptop. Unlikely though. Just remember to remove the tape before returning the computer.

The video equipment in our meeting rooms in office automatically count, zoom in on everyone and cut out a frame so you can see each individual. Great for introverts.

I hate it too 😂
