"Rampant" work from home with Office 365 I guess. I guess most of the load is all these Team video calls and VPN services?

Yeah as a member of Azure networking, it's odd: HR is communicating we should do video calls for meetings instead of just audio, to keep the personal touch, and I'm wondering if that's really the best use of our bandwidth. I keep my video off anyway.

Imagine thousand and thousand video calls with multiple receivers for each transmitter ... over VPN.

I don't use video since I feel weird doing it. Also I don't want to do my hair and change from pyjamas.

Compromise is to turn on video only when talking. Also works as #raisehand ..
