Idk, I’ve noticed when I’m on sales calls, some sales people make a very conscious effort to look into their webcam, and the effect of them “looking at me” in the video feels:

A)Initially, a little bit odd, because 98% of people don’t do it/ I’m not use to seeing that

B) Then feels pleasantly good/ natural.

I’m not going to make a decision on a performative behavior like looking at the webcam - at least, not consciously - but I’m sure if/ when this becomes the norm, webcams NOT focused on eyes will seem very “off”
