It has been a long time since I've written about netiquette. But the flood of new videoconferencing users is reminiscient of the time in the 90s when incoming AOL users doubled the size of the internet. So establishing some norms makes sense. Now I'm not sure I would agree with all of these - for example, instead of saying "wear work-appropriate clothing" I think the rule should just say "wear clothing". Also the stuff about framing and lighting and looking at the camera could be replaced with "point the camera at you, not the ceiling". But despite my disagreements, I think it's time for vidiquette.
