Listen, if you want to be off camera in my class, go ahead and be off camera. I have no idea what you're going through, and frankly?

It's none of my business. Do what you have to do!

For company leaders and teachers who say, "Oh, but no, because I need to know that people are there and paying attention!"

My advice is to be so engaging that you'll feel confident that they're paying attention!

But if you're a student or an employee and you've got that ONE TEACHER or that ONE BOSS who just won't let it go....

Make a few video loops of yourself. Play them in your Zoom meetings. That way, it will look like you're there, when you're really folding your laundry or doing something else you need to do.
