My group doesn't do video meetings, audio only.

On the plus side, the camera and microphone on my work laptop don't work, although the laptop works fine otherwise. I use my own headset (low-end gaming type headset) and no one has sprung for an external camera (and I'm not asking!). If required to do video, I can't. Laugh | :laugh:

The dress code at work is "wear clothes" and generally this is adhered to, although a few folks stretch the boundaries. I wear Dockers & Izod (or equivalent thereof) as it's what I've worn for the last 20+ years. The presentation is casual and neat, and it doesn't usually look like I'm trying to out-dress anyone (with the exception of the folks that stress the boundaries of the current dress code).

If conditions allow and require a video meeting, I dress like I dress for work. It takes 2 minutes to replace t-shirt & sweat pants/shorts with Dockers & Izod.
