> If you are the only person dialing in to a meeting

Every job I’ve had for the past 20 years (always 100% on-site) has been geo-distributed, so I’ve had to dial into nearly every meeting, often being the only person dialed in.

Same. One of my first jobs out of college in the 90s had me dialing into meetings with a geo-distributed team. The only thing that really changed for me as I transitioned fully remote was I didn't have to drive somewhere every day.

I have had jobs later that were fully onsite, and I always end up hating the drive, the strict hours (perceived or otherwise), and the simple lack of freedom. I will do way more work if I can some basic say over my schedule.

Have you found any good way to use a whiteboard over videoconferencing? In my experience, pointing the camera at the whiteboard isn't enough.
