[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's rude to call/attend a video meeting and then stay off camera.  Get your act together and be a professional.[/quote]

This!   When you are in person, do you wear a bag on your head in meetings?       I get if it's a surprise call and you did not shower or change into presentable clothing or whatever, but for a scheduled meeting?  Yes, camera on.  Eye contact.    [/quote]

I don't really make eye contact on Zoom meetings, though. [/quote]

Why not?

Are you able to talk and look at the camera lens or do you need to look at your own image when you talk? Or away entirely?[/quote]

That is the thing about it - if you are looking at the camera lens, you are not actually making eye contact.  That's the weird thing about video calls.[/quote]
Don’t be dense.

If you’re talking you ARE making eye contact with them via looking at the camera lens. They absorb more of your message and know you are paying attention.

The person talking is more impactful if they see your eye contact. Not vice versa.

There are multiple talks and demos on this. [/quote]

That's eye stabbing, not eye contact [/quote]
