Camera Off

Adjective · Hacker Culture

Definitions

  1. Describing a remote meeting participant whose video camera is disabled. In work culture, camera-off norms vary widely and can reflect comfort, fatigue, bandwidth issues, or a team's stance on remote presence expectations.

    In plain English: Participating in a video meeting without your camera on.

    Example: "The manager explicitly said camera off was fine for the weekly sync, which made the whole call feel less performative and more sustainable."
