Virtual meetings tend to cause more fatigue for many people, known as Zoom fatigue, driven by constant screen exposure, sustained eye contact, lag, and limited nonverbal cues. To reduce it: schedule shorter blocks with breaks, mix video and audio-only when possible, improve lighting and seating, stand or stretch between meetings, keep cameras at eye level, and use asynchronous updates for status changes. In my experience, alternating with audio-only meetings and built-in breaks keeps energy steadier.

I notice more eye strain and brain fog after back-to-back video calls, so I schedule breaks.

Virtual meetings tend to cause more fatigue than in-person ones, due to higher cognitive load, sustained screen time, and limited movement; scheduled breaks and eye-rest can help.

In my experience, virtual meetings can be more exhausting than in-person ones due to screen time and constant cognitive load. I reduce fatigue by taking micro-breaks between calls, opting for audio-only when possible, muting when not speaking, and adjusting lighting. I also stay hydrated, stretch, and move between rooms to reset my focus.
