The pro of having the camera on is you can always use your mouse cursor to pick the noses of your colleagues.

Except dickhead managers insist on it

Standard excuse for turning it off: "social battery".

Also: the carbon footprint is higher.
Check.

So, you’re a wanker?

If the other people on the call are just shown as thumbnails then there are too many people on the call.

Unless your monitor is too small of course 😊

Until they talk. If you use it right you'll get them full screen.

Teams calls might be less stultifying if entitled bellends put their cameras on and engaged instead of sulking like a 13 year old in a Maths lesson.

And then when they’re asked a question… “sorry was that for me, what was the question?”

My microphone is built into my web-cam so I have to have the camera on or the microphone doesn't work.

If you run the Windows camera before the Teams camera it shows up as a black screen and you can claim technical difficulties.
