My camera is off whenever I can get away with it. No one in their right mind has a camera on unless they absolutely have to have it on, which generally means adults with jobs who don’t want to lose said jobs.
If you teach online, you either make peace with kids not turning them on (yes, perhaps barely paying attention or ignoring you altogether) or you instill draconian measures to force those cameras on. But no kids other than the most obliging upholders will turn cameras on just because the teacher asks, if none of their peers do.

Exactly. I turn mine off in meetings to conceal the fact that I’m not listening. It’s not a great mystery.
People are weird.

During departmental meetings with colleagues I always keep my camera off. I keep it on in online classes to encourage students to do likewise, but not when I’m sharing a text or other materials on the screen. What would be the point?
