Are you requiring remote employees be on camera? We're finding that as remote work is prevalent, those turning their cameras on is inconsistent. It's always been encouraged but not mandated. How are you handling this?

Remote employees should be given target based on their work performance there basic salary + incentives should be defined. Something like complete task ABC and earn more rewardsStrategic Banking IT advisor in Bankinga year ago
As a matter of best practice, it's encouraged to at least have the camera turned on for greeting everyone at the very beginning of the meeting. Then, people wanting to turn it off could. At first, people were complaining about their background (having to clean their room) but today's, everyone is using a background image.
I feel it adds a more human touch to a meeting when you could see each other faces.

Depends on the call. Between team members - cameras off. If you are with a client/customer cameras on unless the client/customer prefers cameras off. Product Management Manager in Softwarea year ago
Having a camera on/off is dependent on the type of meeting.Performance based kpi tracking is helpful for remote employees.
Don't track lines of codes vs track efficiency of code, don't just track tasks done cz in that case they will just try to Mark them off from their todos instead of it tracks the impact of the results.
Encouraging them for camera on is also helpful.
If it's a small peer meeting or team catchup where everyone is contributing equally then prefer camera on. Especially the speaker.
If it's a meeting where the information flow is more one-way, like a project or staff update and there's a powerpoint involved, then usually prefer camera off for participants. Speaker's camera state is their preference. Bandwidth conservation is more important than seeing faces.
