2022.07.30 – 0576 – Why Video Calls Are Exhausting
And don’t forget video-calls are really quite exhausting[1]
And dullness saps your energy – mentally, physically and vocally.
Webchats:
· Need more concentration on the conversation – as there’s little change of scenery. Dull backgrounds, green screens or even people wandering around in the office, but nothing much happens.
· Are very repetitive – in the format of the beginning and ending conversations. “We’ll give it a few minutes for latecomers”, “Please mute your mics”, “please put any questions in the chat box”, “Please mute your mics” …
· Are abrupt – in how they start and end. There’s no chance to mingle with people after the meeting as you would be able to in an office situation. You may feel abandoned and back alone in your back bedroom.
