ZOOM FATIGUE IS REAL, ACCORDING TO BRAIN SCANS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

A new study found that virtual meetings exhaust the brain more than face-to-face conversations. The rise in remote work and online learning has revealed a phenomenon called Zoom fatigue, a feeling of exhaustion linked with videoconferencing. It results in a deterioration in the quality of communication and collaboration and can impact both professional and personal relationships. The absence of nuanced nonverbal cues makes it challenging for participants to fully engage and connect in a meaningful way.
