Zoom Fatigue Is Real And Now We Know What Causes It. You know, by now, what it is like. When you are on a Zoom call, you are constantly looking at the camera so your correspondent doesn't think you are ignoring them. You are trapped in your chair, unless you make an excuse. Everything seems forced. Phone calls and emails leave you with a sense of control, and in person meetings do also. So, when considering a Zoom call, think about whether it is necessary, and whether email would be sufficient. For lawyers required to attend Zoom hearings and trials, consider that the old ways of traveling to, dressing for, and sitting in courtrooms, had their own stressors, and count your blessings.
