Here are my thoughts and things to consider:
What is the purpose behind making video mandatory? Is it being used as authentication that you are speaking to who you think you are speaking to? Maybe to make sure they aren't in their PJ's?
Small zoom meetings it makes sense to have everyone have their camera on, otherwise it could have been a phone call.
With larger meetings with more than 6 or 8 people its starts to be cumbersome to have everyone cameras on. This can be due to the bandwidth of the participants, turning off cameras to help keep the meeting from lagging is beneficial. Or maybe a screen is being shared, and at that point does it matter if their camera is on?
It comes down to the reasons your company wants to have cameras and your use policy for them. Good Luck!
