how to use a webcam for work

Factual Questions
1

Working from home. At my company we have a lot of remote workers, and we have meetings once a week. Microsoft Teams. These have never been video meetings. But now the company has requested that we have video when we have the meetings. The way Teams usually works, without video, is when someone is speaking, you see their picture on the screen.

I just opened the webcam app on my computer and I can see myself typing away. But how would others see me? When I work from home, I open up an app that gives me access to my computer at work, and from that I access Microsoft Teams. I think there is a setting in Teams to turn on the camera. But wouldn’t that be turning on the camera at my work computer?

Maybe I figured it out. I have to install Teams on my home computer

Wow sleep depravation really does affect your mind. I’ve had maybe 4 hours of good sleep every night for the past week. What a silly OP

That’s ok! I had pretty much the same experience (but with Skype). Same thing, I ended up joining the meeting with Skype on my home PC rather than the work PC that I was connected to.

Did they happen to mention WHY they want video during the meetings?

That’s interesting. My company has requested that we turn our webcams off, the video links are apparently putting too much load on the VPN.
