The fatiguing effects of camera use in virtual meetings
> following a day of virtual meetings<p>I've done full days of real meetings. Those were exhausting and very draining. I'm surprised that anybody would expect anything different from virtual meetings.<p>I have noticed that it's harder to feel people as fully human when they're little 2D movies. Even moreso when they're disembodied voices.<p>It's less so when I've met the people IRL. I'm guessing I can then link their image or voice to the human I know.<p>In my experience, there's also far less participation when everybody has their camera off.
