We're building https://team.video and are debating how prominent to make the video feed that shows yourself. Some of us think it's distracting to watch ourselves in the call, and others want to be able to see clearly what everyone else is seeing of them. We hear a similar range of feedback from users too, although like us, they are often not exactly able to articulate why they feel so strongly.<p>Do you like to have your feed prominent and sitting alongside everyone else's? Or does it make you uncomfortable to be seeing yourself? Why is it that you feel the way you do?
I like to see a thumbnail of myself. I have some holiday decor up that would be unsightly to have in view during summertime. I also like to see I'm centered in frame, posture looks good, etc. I want to verify I look presentable through the duration of a call.
