Which video conferencing platforms give the host the ability to remotely turn on other people’s cameras?
The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities… some consider to be unnatural.
Edit: unfortunately it’s fake.
Unfortunately?
That would be such a massive privacy issue that I don’t think any video conferencing software would ever implement that.
Truth Social Live.
You underestimate the power of the Dark Side.
…oh so Microsoft Teams?
Would make an interesting HR discussion though.
It’s probably fake, but if this bothers you then you should probably already have a physical cover for your camera.
Electrical or painter’s tape is a cheap and efficient solution.
Big flex though dropping 99 cents on these
(if using the camera more than once or twice a month)
I also unplug it to be extra sure
They’ll have a great view of the electrical tape I put over the camera lens the day the laptop was issued to me.
Try it mofo, my laptop has a hardware off switch for mic+webcam
Ha, I turn it off for your protection. Do you have any idea what I look like in the morning?
Enjoy looking at the sticky side of some blue tape.
Still think the slide cover on my laptop is one of the most practical features I’ve ever seen
Yeah my corpo laptop actually came with it. It’s standard on all our renewed devices now. I was pleasantly surprised. Apparently the CTO deemed it so.
The fact that that is a button is insane.
It’s not actually an option, thank goodness.
One of them (Zoom I think) at least used to be able to pop up a request for attendees to turn on their mics. I was glad to see it required permission, and I was not glad to see the host must have clicked that request.
yet
Lol got me good.
Or is it insane that it isn’t? I think life would be way more fun with buttons like that.

Joke is on you; my camera is uninstalled, I am “computer illiterate”, and I would rather install a toe trigger on my shotgun than work anywhere where I would have to do virtual meetings with a camera enabled.
