IT enforced background blur for GDPR reasons. You simply couldn't turn it off, so everybody was blurred during the daily standup.

The sound of thousands of underpowered integrated graphics processors, their fans screaming in agony.

Most people have workstation laptops with Nvidia Quadro's so that's not really an issue.

Sounds like a win to me.

We don't even use Cameras anymore for anything except explicitly scheduled one-on-one meetings like Quarterly Review.
