MAY 29 — Mental health expert warns that while we are witnessing the booming of a video conference application called Zoom, another problem could arise, which is Zoom fatigue.

And now, more employees are utilising this application to conduct meetings, as they are working remotely due to the pandemic. However, bear in mind that it is not really Zoom-caused fatigue. It is actually a video or online meeting fatigue, but Zoom gets the label because Zoom is the currently go-to-meeting tool for most.In short, interacting with other people through the screen causes our brain to work much harder.

As for the extroverts, they may find themselves scheduling more meetings than necessary which caused them to feel tired and drained. But if a video call is still needed, turning on the camera should be kept optional as hiding the image of ourselves during a video call can make us feel less self-conscious and more focused on what others are saying.
