My work team is still about 80% remote. It’s very common to have someone point their web-cam at pets during meetings. In fact we have a big sync-up meeting on Fridays where it’s practically expected that the first 5-10 minutes will be spent ogling various pet-cams. Cats, dogs, guinea pigs, lizards, turtles… one person has a pair of axolotl that are practically team mascots now.

I set up a second dedicated cat cam for some meetings, pointed at the calming presence of a cat sleeping on my desk.
Sounds like a nice atmosphere
I really like my job.
