gollark: When I occasionally do voice chat on here and stuff I have to use push to talk.
gollark: My laptop's microphone is very bad, so they'd probably ask me to turn it off if I were to actually use it.
gollark: Technically my laptop has a camera. But also technically that's not a webcam.
gollark: Or I can just never go on camera and remain eerily silent in voice.
gollark: To be fair, some people probably weren't managing well, but that's no reason to do this to everyone.
