A survey of stay-at-home workers in the United States suggests 12 percent of workers have kept their cameras switched off during video calls due to a lack of clothing.

Mentimeter, an interactive presentation tool, announced it commissioned a survey of 1,500 people working from home amid the COVID-19 pandemic and found 12 percent of respondents admitted to keeping their video cameras off during meetings on Zoom, Skype or Google Hangouts because they were naked or only partially clothed.

I keep it off because I look like a homeless person on a bender when I work from home.

I put on a polo with no pants. You just have to remember not to stand up.

I did this yesterday because I forgot about a 9 am video conference and had just got out of the shower, so I was shirtless in shorts and flip flops

My boss was in business professional attire

I usually keep my camera off but will still throw on some gym shorts and a t-shirt just in case the software malfunctions or I accidentally click the camera

It is definitely higher than 12%. I dont brush my hair or anything while working from home. Be lucky if I have on a shirt.

I keep my camera off because you don't need to stare at my face to have a discussion.

My boss has started wanting to do webcam on our calls. I hate the idea, not because I don't have pants, but because I don't want anyone to see me rolling my eyes all the time.

I prefer video calls because facial cues reduce the tendency for everyone to accidentally talk over one another, like they do on voice calls.

I keep video off, except for the "telehealth" visit I had, it forced you to have video on. It was stupid, just a way to bill my insurance to say hi, we are keeping your meds the same, still get them filled at Pharmacy, thanks, bye.
