Sure, but this is an opt-in versus opt-out process. If you are with your friends or family, you will opt-in and share that stuff. If you are with your co-workers? Just as right now they don't get a webcam view on Teams(for my team at least), they are getting audio.

I don't know what team your on, but I've been WFH for nearly a decade, and for important meetings, it's always camera on. Even then it's a challenge.

There's nothing more frustrating than a colleague obviously not paying attention, or grocery shopping with video off, on a call where they're essential. And then you have to repeat.. etc.

I'm all for VR meetings if they can nail things like eye-contact, accurate mapping to mount movements and body indicators that show attention and focus.

Because right now, too often zoom calls are a dumpster fire distraction, which is exhausting for all involved.
