Summary

Turn off your camera during unproductive meetings` is a strategy some people use to avoid feeling like they're not paying attention or to reduce `Zoom fatigue`. Some companies may view this as an adult way to deal with meetings, while others might think it's a trick. Using a video of yourself looking at the camera as a background can make it seem like you're engaged. You can also turn off your camera and change your name to "Loading..." or put a sticky note over your camera to pretend it's broken. In some cases, not attending meetings that don't serve a purpose is the best approach. Some people find turning their camera off helps them feel more comfortable in large video calls.
