I'm regularly in meetings where people are on camera and where everyone has them off. It's clear the degree of people not following the discussion when the cameras are off is much more substantial.

And so, having made this observation, what steps have you taken to ensure that your meetings are purposeful and relevant to the people who are attending, so that they feel able to participate?

I rarely organize any of these meetings, so it's not my call. But people on those are usually relevant.

Maybe they're paying as much attention while on camera, but using the same fake signals they use to look like they're paying attention at in-person meetings.

I'm not talking about social signals, but people going like "sorry what, could you repeat the last point" when called out.
