Sounds like this person just won the lottery. Apparently some people absolutely need to see the person that they are talking to, but I personally hate when my job has meetings and we have to have our cameras on. I don't need to see you. Just say what needs said or show whatever on your screen and then let's move on with the day.
It's also such a neurotypical thing to (want to) force people to have the camera on.
Some people work better without at times.
Just let them work however they want and show trust, it might just benefit everyone. If I am not focused on showing a expectation of a facial expression I can focus on the topic.
I just let my two cats in the room sonce they can be relied upon to present their backside to the camera.
I've taken to putting clear tape or a little vaseline on the lense.
Everyone sees me, but the image is imperfect. I just say there's something wrong with my camera.
I'm slowly making it worse, so they get used to bad/no image.
Gonna get an email from IT saying they are sending you an external camera to use because the boss can't peep at you.
Lol, there have to know there's a problem, and I'm not telling them.
IT isn't that proactive - I would know, I'm part of it. We don't have time for stuff people do report - we're not going out looking for stuff.
Do the same thing to that camera
And then they will request it back to inspect it. You really can't win, best thing is to just do some wild makeup that is distracting. Maybe some black eyes and gashes. It's none of their damn business what I do on my own time.
That's just not how IT works.
They ask to inspect it, take the tape off and give it to them. They hand it back, put the tape back on.
Weird, it only happens on my computer....
Very light sandpaper, like 320. Just a couple of passes.
It will make the glass grainy, and there is no real evidence you did anything.
I don't mind screen on, but I'm unapologetic in the vibes I give off
