Webcam Lateral Interview Attire

I have a first round webcam interview with an analyst early next week for a lateral analyst role. My question is it okay to just wear a button down or do I need to wear a full suit and tie? I feel like it's weird to wear a full suit and tie on a webcam with another analyst.

Follow up question is what level of interviewer seniority constitutes wearing more than a  button down? 

Maybe I'm overthinking this, in which case roast me.

Done plenty of virtual interviews the last year for lateral stuff. Wore a suit every time unless the person specifically told me beforehand hey no need for a suit just be casual. If with an analyst they probably don’t expect you to or care either way, but in the off chance they are a hardo and were expecting you to wear one just wear it
