It’s no surprise that we are fairly fed up with video calls by now. After over a year of lockdown and working from home, the novelty of a video call disappeared long ago. Once amusing technical difficulties or faces frozen in funny positions are now infuriating.
This year has given rise to ‘zoom fatigue’, a genuine condition caused by too much time spent on video conferences. Symptoms of Zoom fatigue include tiredness, loss of attention, feeling clammy or sweaty during calls, additional strain on the eyes as well as regular headaches and migraines.
One of the reasons for video calls feeling like such hard work is the dramatic switch from 3D to 2D. Used to communicating with people face-to-face, our brains are accustomed to all kinds of external duces which we are no longer able to receive when faced with a video call. Thus, our brain is having to work overtime to process this strange environment.
So after over a year of video conferencing, how can you mix things up to make them more exciting?
