The fatiguing effects of camera use in virtual meetings
> following a day of virtual meetingsI'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.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.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.In my experience, there's also far less participation when everybody has their camera off.
