How can we reduce Zoom fatigue?

Are Zoom calls draining your energy? 

Candidates and clients are finding zoom calls exhausting. This article suggests being on a video call requires more focus than a face-to-face chat. Video chats mean we need to work harder to process non-verbal cues like facial expressions, the tone and pitch of the voice, and body language; paying more attention to these consumes a lot of energy. “Our minds are together when our bodies feel we’re not. That dissonance, which causes people to have conflicting feelings, is exhausting. You cannot relax into the conversation naturally,” the author says.

 

Silence is another challenge, the author adds. “Silence creates a natural rhythm in a real-life conversation. However, when it happens in a video call, you became anxious about the technology.” Find the article here.
