There are legitimate reasons why students and/or employees might not want to have their cameras on for Zoom. Those who live in good housing situations often forget that their colleagues might NOT live in such a situation. Or being on camera may provoke anxiety as it puts a focus on you as an individual that being one among many in an in-person situation does not. Or maybe the person lives in a household, doesn't have their own room with a door to close & housemates don't want to be on camera.

Don't insist that students and/or employees have their cameras on. It's ableist, classist, and can also violate someone else's privacy. #Zoom #OnlinePedagogy
