Neon Monday #195 — This week's Design & Creativity events around the world

Welcome to Issue 195.

You have probably heard of wordle, the online word game. This week, this tweet caught my attention:

The issue of cameras being turned off in Zoom classes or meetings is nuanced.

I have been on both sides in online workshops and events and can sympathize with both the host and the students/participants.

As a participant, I want to be flexible while protecting my privacy. When a group is less than 20 people, I keep my camera on.

As a host, I have never faced a completely blacked-out camera grid while presenting. Watching the grid getting blacker is an experience but I've learned to ignore it because you don't know what's going on on the other side. Not seeing the grid is sometimes better, because you can focus better on what your want to bring across. I've also noticed that when the session flows and is interactive, the lack of turned-on cameras will no longer be an issue.

What is your experience with a blacked-out camera grid?
