Generate a Diplomatic Way to Ask a Colleague to Turn Their Camera On
<context>
You manage or work closely with a colleague, {COLLEAGUE_NAME}, who keeps their camera off in most video calls. It is starting to affect how engaged the team feels in meetings, but you do not know their reason, which might be entirely legitimate, and you want to raise it without sounding controlling.
</context>
<task>
**Generate three versions of the ask, at different levels of directness:**
1. A light, low-stakes version for a first mention
2. A slightly more direct version for a second mention, if the first did not land
3. A version that opens with a genuine question about whether there is a reason, rather than an instruction
</task>
<output_format>
- Three message drafts, labelled by directness level
- One sentence under each explaining when to use it
- A note on what NOT to say, covering the one or two phrasings most likely to come across as surveillance rather than a request
