Everybody else is wrong. A meeting is for back and forth communication. If they didn’t want a meeting, they shouldn’t have scheduled a meeting. Just write a memo or something. Everybody has far too many meetings anyways, and you’re an asshole if you waste everybody’s time on extra meetings that aren’t even meetings.
Had a manager once who told everyone to turn on their cams so he would “know that they were paying full attention.” Heaven forbid you treat your team like professionals instead of 3rd graders!

Yeah seriously, body communication is still communication, this host just doesn’t want negative feedback.
Is the best part of, no it’s the only real reason, for in person meetings
100% agree with this.
If you don’t want feedback, make your shit meeting an email. Otherwise it’s a self-aggrandizement ego soothing cheerleading session.

I work from home and look like a homeless person during the week. I only shave before the monthly on camera meeting.
I mean in fairness I’m often not listening, but that’s only in “could have been an email” style meetings.
Goated
