Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 9 minutes ago, Stormzy said: My work has decided that we need to have cameras turned on in zoom for when we log in in the morning and for any meetings because apparantly isolation has been tough on peoples mental health and seeing other faces would cheer them up. I'm sympathetic to anyone with such issues but I dare say looking at me won't help them with that, I'm sure there are webcam services available if that's what you're in to. I was on a meeting today, one of the folk online was using their own equipment including a webcam. If it wasn't bad enough having her face on line she could have positioned the camera so we didn't have to look up her fucking nose for two hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dreading it, I am a beautiful attractive figure so I'm not worried about me I just don't want to have to look at people, what about when I'm playing the ps5, what about when I'm smoking or drinking, what about when I sleep in and log in in my bed, I'll probably pick my nose or something. Do you have to do it all day or just for meetings? It's baffling to me coz I'd imagine more people will be feeling anxious about this than people will be relieved about looking at other folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be using the camera for anything bar meetings, can't think how they could enforce keeping it on all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some opaque tape and put it over the camera, if someone complains tell them it must be broken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 My new work seemed pretty stringent about having cameras on for the daily work call but it's my third day today and half of them have them off. Since I keep mine on I'm going to ignore any possible negative reasons for that and just assume they're all feeling extra self-conscious because of how braw and handsome I am. It's the superior Scottish genes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the superior Scottish genes. Shite rule isn't it. My place is the same. I ended up deliberately breaking my webcam so I couldn't turn it on. Kinda something you have to do in the office though, or else it's a bit obvious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad for me 'cos I don't have to look at the screen so I don't look at them and I forget I'm on camera. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines has a slide cover that you can, well, slide and it blacks out the screen but the camera is still activated. Thus, you can genuinely say my camera is on and pretend you have no idea why they cannot see you. You can even send a screenshot showing your camera icon is activated. Pure genius whoever though of it. Alternatively, aye, a bit of tape over the lens will do the same job! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) I attended a Zoom funeral yesterday for the first time, but I was unsure of the camera etiquette for these things, so I was sat there like an eejit wearing a white shirt and black tie just in case other folk had their cameras on. Thankfully just about everybody else had their camera off, so I was all dressed up for nothing.

ICTChris Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The team I work in have a daily call where we just shoot the breeze and have a laugh with our cameras on. We also use it to talk about work if required and if we have work to do we don’t join. It’s really helped keep our team together during the pandemic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Having to have cameras on all the time sounds like it could be straying in illegal territory. Would be having very serious words with unions, HR and employment lawyers if I was told to do this. As it is, I never have my camera on and there's no requirement for it thankfully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching my grandfather's via a live YouTube feed on Tuesday (i.e. a very one-way setup) and my other half asked me (in all seriousness) "are you wearing your suit and tie for it?" Felt a bit guilty being casual strangely enough, but then again, I would have felt like an utter eejit sat in front of my computer at home with a black tie, suit and freshly ironed shirt. Really need to get a Castrol GTX jacket though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I'm quite often the only person in team meetings with my camera on. Would much rather people used them, because it makes a difference to conversation. Body language is a huge part of how we communicate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked with a boy who punched a plate-glass door and punctured an artery. He had metal rods screwed into his arm to stop him from moving it, and was off work without pay for weeks. He showed up for work (which involved a lot of physical labour) and wasn't happy about being sent home, so he punched a door with the other arm. It doesn't seem very fair to include punch bags on that list. I think they're made for punching, although I could be wrong on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
