I have to use cameras just out of politeness and I also do a bunch of audio only calls and frankly the video calls are much more stressful and often less productive.

I’ll use the camera during the small meetings with my immediate team but the company wide calls? Naw, I’m usually walking to the coffee shop or laying on the couch during those

See, for me it's often the other way around. Wtih the usual suspects we're often just in each other's ears for a while and moving around to get a coffee or even just pacing up and down to stretch our legs. It's the outside-facing stuff that requires the face time.

That depends on your business, I suppose. Either way the audio only stuff is definitely the better choice IMO.
