Not sure what "universal recommendations" you are talking about. The majority of people in battlestations don't need "the power position" or whatever because when they video conference, it's not important that there be a wall behind them, and they also probably aren't worried about being surprised or crept up on.
I don't know. Unless you have a dedicated office room (and even then, I'm not so sure), it just seems borderline childish to me. (No offense intended).
