I'd expect people to have the camera on in a discussion they are actively participating in. If it's an all hands meeting or something I don't think it's fair to make people sit there on camera.

Edit: I guess I should add though, I have never encountered a problem with the former situation, ie never been in a small discussion where anything is weird or we miss something because someone's camera is off. I have been in the latter situation, where people were told they have to sit and watch hours of administrative or "vision" type presentations and keep their camera on.

There hopefully is software that can emulate a very attentive image of yourself. I think if rules get stricter the demand would increase. Perhaps at some point it can even emulate clothing, some facial movements and make yourself clap in longer pauses.
