Turning on your video during virtual events is significant for the following reasons:
- Create a sense of community: Seeing each other's faces fosters a stronger sense of connection and community among participants.
- Recommended participation: While it's not mandatory to enable your video, it's highly recommended to enhance the overall event experience.
- Q&A and Participation: During some events, there might be Q&A sessions and opportunities for students to raise their virtual hands and speak out loud. For such interactions, we require students to turn on their cameras. This helps facilitate better engagement and communication as seeing faces aids in effective conversation.
Remember, attending with video on is encouraged, but we respect individual preferences if you choose not to do so in certain circumstances. We value your presence in any way that you feel comfortable.
