I don't have video on my 'non-work' machines, and I usually get a 'work' laptop from the company...

a webcam is not exactly gonna break the bank, but I hate polluting my home machines with crap.

So I guess its not really a red flag to me, more of a nuisance

Ok just so you know you're coming across really difficult. Like you'll find objections about anything.

I think that if I'm considering any kind of business arrangement with someone, asking to see their face is a extremely minimal ask.

as I said, I have no problem with a webcam its just a nuisance to setup. If you think thats 'difficult' oh well. Its never been an issue yet, so I'm not gonna worry about it.
