What's the etiquette? ๐

When you join a meeting with video on, but everyone else joins with video off...

I leave my video off unless the client has theirs on.
same here! follow the lead
Yep, me too. Although for customer-facing meetings, I'm always prepared to go on camera.
Oh I have my hair and makeup done every day. You never know.
I might just be wearing a sports tshirt and have to throw on a company zip...
Or you be like Randy and log onto a zoom shirtless when its 100+ F!
Now thereโs an HR issue!
This is the only correct answer. I won't initiate it, but feels awkward just leaving the client there.
The client does the same sometimes. I have a puppy and I keep turning off my camera whenever she comes onto me. The client does the same then. HAHAHA it's funny.
I join with mine on. If they've been on more than 30 seconds and dont have it on and havent mentioned being in the process of turning it on, Ill turn mine off. 90% they turn theirs on when they see mine on.
I prefer it on so they see a face with the name, especially if itโs a smaller Meeting. But larger meetings I usually have it off so they canโt see me not paying attention.
I just keep it on, doesn't bother me at all.
I like it when prospects have video on so I can see reactions, but I can't really control that.
I usually join client-facing with it on, and then will shut it off during a demo. Or if they have theirs off.
I think it's good to give them a face to associate with my name/voice.

Yeah, I shut mine off during a demo when I'm sharing content as well. It helps with focus.
Exactly. and I have 2-3 screens that I'm looking at and nobody needs to see that kind of movement
When I'm pitching I look for non-verbal queues. I feed off them. If it's internal, it doesn't matter.
I love to ask. I usually keep mine on for the first couple of minutes at the very least if Iโm presenting. Otherwise, I just turn it off
Client meeting, start with it on and if they dont switch I turn it off. I dont ask a client to turn it on since they are probably not "camera ready"
I join with video and if there's nothing I turn it off. At least they know I'm real
Leaving mine on. My prospects/customers deserve to bask in my glory
Oof it depends for sure. Generally, if I enter with camera on and everyone is off, I just leave it on. If I enter it with cam off and everyone is on, I turn it on
