I participated in a webinar yesterday with the Center for Innovation, Design, and Digital Learning focused on creating Accessible Conferences in Higher Education. The panelists and I tried to provide a lot of helpful resources and strategies for promoting inclusion for people with disabilities during a conference or presentation.

This study on Zoom camera use found that students turn off their cameras because of personal appearance, people being in the background, and slow internet connection. A Stanford study identified constant camera use as a cause for Zoom fatigue and recommended audio-only breaks. Educause on equitable camera use highlights best practices at the end of the article like a flexible policy, using icebreakers, and providing alternatives. Hopefully, these articles are helpful and might lead to your institution creating a more flexible policy.
