I just turn off the video. Usually no one says anything, but if they ask I just say it's not working for some reason.
Honestly it seems like most of the stress you describe comes from your own anxiety about appearance and what people might think about you rather than from video calls or Zoom as communication tools. Maybe change your expectations of yourself rather than try to change the company or other people.
