In a chat room, people can chat with each other by showing or not showing one on the camera. So I just showed my avatar there.

My friend asked me why I didn't show myself on the camera. I answered:

I don't want to put myself on camera.

Is the red sentence natural?

In a chat room, people can chat with each other by showing or not showing one and can choose to show or not show their face on the camera. So I just showed I choose to show just my avatar there.

My friend asked me why I didn't show my face. myself on the camera. I answered:
See above.
I don't want to put myself on camera.

Is the red above sentence natural?
No. It's not natural. Try:
I don't really want to show my face.
And/or
I'm camera shy.
