Is it necessary to join the video call with the camera on in UK/France?
27 Aug 2026 · Answered by Komal Yadav · 1 min read
Yes, you are generally expected to join university interview video calls with your camera on in both the UK and France. This allows interviewers to assess your communication skills and engagement, similar to an in-person interview.
Some universities specifically recommend keeping your camera on, dressing appropriately, and ensuring a quiet environment. While policies may vary slightly, having your camera on is the standard professional expectation for admissions interviews.
