If your meeting conduct depends on seeing a talking head, something is off. I can recognize who is talking in an instant because I know the voices of people
Interviews, granted, getting to know a person it’s good to see a face.
For most meetings a voice call is sufficient, for those meetings where a voice call is not sufficient you probably want an in-person meeting with a whiteboard anyway
Getting to know people and their voices does take some time, so cameras can be useful when the team (or some new teammate) is new. I'd like to think we can play it by ear but I feel like teams get into habits and any change is considered odd.
Otherwise Agreed. And, for what it's worth, many of those whiteboard meetings can now also be conducted remotely (I humbly submit our app, ShareTheBoard, as an example solution).
