Sort of. I just use a still photo of myself rather than live video. Nothing is really gained by the other party seing my lips move. I don't have to worry about whether I've shaved, or my hair is mussed up, or if I'm dressed in work attire, or if I'm looking at the screen. It's much easier to focus on the content of the call without all those distractions.

Eh, maybe for you. Hard of hearing folks and more extroverted folks will disagree. Depends on your team.
Agree 100%. There's _so_ much additional information that human faces provide outside of the spoken language. It's often hard to interpret, especially over a video call, but turning that channel off completely is definitely a loss of signal.
I'd much rather develop my use and interpretation of facial expressions than ignore them.
