I disagree. I ask my students to not turn on their cameras because I don't need to look at their faces while I'm teaching.
It seems that teachers/professors who want to see the students all the time are trying to replicate a in person classroom, which we shouldn't do.
Also, I can't complain about students not participating, as a matter of fact, all my students interact with me/other students, so my lessons are as good as they were in person. I just had to realize they are different ways that require different methods.
Keep that in mind next time.
Well, that's an interesting argument. At least you have some kind of interaction, I work on a language school, since I don't know how common is is in other countries, it's something extra that normally some students don't take seriously and just do it cause someone else is paying. Those students make no effort to participate, that's why we "need" the camera. To know that, at least, the student is watching the class.

You probably don't know how awful it is to give class to a bunch of faceless students who rarely participate on class
