When do you put video on / off for Zoom?

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

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!

@price2spy 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 😂

@richardfliu Exactly!

It's basically ON, but it depends on the size of the meeting! or when I smoke to avoid getting caught! haha

Off if there are more than a few people in the call. If I can blend into the background of faceless people on a call, I will do that.

Just a few specific moments when I turn the video off (when I blow my nose (because I'm sick), when I receive a short urgent call and I don't want (out of politeness) my interlocutor to think that I don't care about our call, etc...)

I always stay on because in these covid times it is good to see each other :) btw do you have any lifehacks or tweaks using Zoom? I posted mine here https://bit.ly/3nyq2Ne I'm curious what do you think about them and pls feel free to share yours!

For me, its on and off. And I created a product for better controlling turning on and off https://www.goboop.io/

Always on! I don't feel like I can truly engage when my video is off.
