[NABS-L] Camera Accommodations In Virtual College Classes?

[Nick Stover]

Hello all,

My college career has been made entirely of virtual classes, with most
professors being very laissez-faire as to whether one's camera was on or
off. A professor this semester, however, is very avid for video this
semester, complete with cameras. I'm totally blind, so setting up a camera
is not the easiest thing in the world. Trying to feel out if there's a
blind consensus for these situations: do you insist on accommodation of the
camera being off which my DRC adviser has made clear I can do, or take it
as learning opportunity because you will be expected to utiliz  similar
set-ups in professional contexts? And for those of you who operate
professionally, how valuable are these sorts of skills? Is this the sort of
visual expectation you can subvert without much fuss, or have you had
negative feedback/consequence from having your camera off at meetings?
Warmly,
Nick
