Because of the mental work of being online, let's be thoughtful about when we need video and when we don't. If we're listening to a webinar or exploring someone's PowerPoint we shouldn't have to be on video for that. A recent client confided that she was more distracted by seeing everyone's thumbnail and what different people were doing online.
Let's reserve video for discussions.
If I'm teaching, I can focus on strategies to keep my presentation interactive and allow participants to engage without video. I've taught many online workshops where I had my video on but no one else was on camera. I know my clients greatly appreciated this freedom.
