I use Google Meets for work, for weekly meetings as well as one-off meetings. I almost always don't want the camera turned on, and I am very normal because if you search the internet there are thousands of people searching for how to do this.
If you search for a solution, like I did, you will soon find responses straight from Google telling you there is no way to turn off your camera by default. If you want to start without video, tough luck, sucks to be you.
But I found a way: disable video entirely. In System Settings -> Privacy -> Camera you can remove permission from your web browser. Now your Meets will start without the camera.
"But what if I sometimes want to turn the camera on?"
Screw you. Meets doesn't do that. The only way to use Meets with this absolutely fundamental and basic feature is to use it without video whatsoever.
Toodles! Good luck out there.
