I recently moved from an org where most people (90%+)used their camera for meetings to an org where 99% of meetings are using an audio teleconf system.

As a new joiner I’ve found it much harder to build relationships over audio only, especially with peers who are remote. This may just be a personal flaw that I have.

I have definitely noticed that the audio calls are more prone to people interrupting and talking over each other. This is often eliminated on video calls because you can see visual cues that someone would like to speak, or that someone is thinking about the question prior to responding. Video is a much higher bandwidth medium for collaboration, imo.

Personally I’d prefer meetings to be video first.
