As someone who's partially deaf, I really appreciate camera on. It's a lot easier to understand people. I actually like Zoom meetings more than F2F at times, simply because everyone (with a camera) is equal - I see all their faces (and mouths) the same. F2F? Masks cover up faces, and we all have to stand far apart - horrible conditions for someone HoH.

I'm completely deaf and I can only recommend transcripts. Both zoom and teams have built-in transcription systems (though you have to enable them) and there is also an Android app called Google live transcribe. The former two work the best since everyone has a mic to their mouth and their voice never mix before going through the transcription system.

Transcripts (Used them in google meets, didnt knew about zoom and teams) are awesome also for non native english speakers too!
Helps a great deal to have all (audio+video+text) to follow a conversation
