The game is about hanging out with people as it is immersion. I kinda find having cameras on distracting. When I'm playing in online games with cameras on it is usually in a separate program than the VTT, usually discord, and I never look at it.  The few times I've played in games that had the video in the same interface as the VTT, I just found it distracting and a waste of screen real estate. I have, however, contacted GMs looking for players who wanted to record every game and post them to their YouTube channels. Always noped out of them. Not something I'm interested in. Besides, it seems like a strange way to build up a live play stream. All of the successful live plays are successful because of chemistry of the group. I would think you would want to first put together a group that works well together to make an entertaining show. Yep. That's my experience. Another benefit for me as a GM is that I have a terrible poker face. Not being on camera keeps my players on edge.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f608.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":devilish:" title="Devil    :devilish:"  data-smilie="29"data-shortname=":devilish:" /></blockquote>
