Do you feel exhausted after being on Zoom? You’re not alone. Thanks to COVID-19, we’ve been on Zoom more than ever. From our day-to-day work to meetings and after-work social catch ups, our time spent video conferencing seems endless and it’s tiring us out.

Studies have shown that our brains are in overload during these video meetings, and that’s leading us to feel emotionally and motivationally exhausted.

We’ve asked the experts what exactly is going on in our heads when we’re in an online meeting and how we can reduce and prevent fatigue so we can feel energised and work better.

 


Guests:

Professor Julie Bernhardt, Florey Institute of Neuroscience & Mental Health

Professor Jeff Hancock, Stanford University
