Someone I worked with back in the 80's had a nervous laugh when they were embarrassed or asked an awkward question. When a colleague told us his wife had cancer she giggled. The optics, as you say, were awful.

I think it goes in the opposite direction, are these meetings usually filmed ? I know the meat of these talks remain private but to even disclose the introduction seems odd.
