I'm sorry but you sound like someone who always sees the worst in everyone and everything. Your attitude is the problem with the clash of gen-z and business. I would have no problem with people coming into an interview a meeting anything using any of these things.

Having your camera off makes you non-accountable? Sounds like a projection to me.

I'm sorry to hear that. I do not consider myself a person that seen the worst in everyone and everything, and didn't wanted to transmit that with my article. I don't have any issue with people using avatars in their meetings.

What I'm trying to say is that avatars shouldn't be approach for meetings, and that's the main point for me. If you want to talk to someone, to expose something to an audience, to keep a conversation, doesn't sound to me totally good if you cannot see the people you are talking with. I strongly believe in body language and how we express ourselves with hands, eyes, and the rest of body. This makes us to get more insights, you can change your words, your speech, you can stop talking, or asking depending on it. Probably, you are not taking this into account or believe that this is not important, but, believe me, you have more information than you think if you can see your audience.

Lastly, I'm not saying that people won't be accountable if they have their camera-off, but turning on the camera makes to create a strong relationship from the beginning setting some basic conversational principles only from seeing the other person. You can check if she is smiling, or happy, or tired. Again as before, this will make you to module your speech and accomodate it to the moment.
