If a person's camera is on in a virtual meeting but they repeatedly look away from the screen, what might other participants infer?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The person may appear inattentive or less engaged in the meeting.
In a virtual meeting, gaze direction and facial attention are non-verbal signals. Repeatedly looking away can make the participant appear distracted, uninterested, or less engaged, even though the true reason may be different. It does not automatically improve sound, clarify ideas, or guarantee privacy. Therefore, option A is the best inference from the visible behaviour.
