Also, have you ever wondered why you are more tired after a whole day of video calls than when you have face-to-face meetings in the office?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During an online meeting, our brains try to process many influences at once, such as non-verbal communication, new knowledge, sounds in the surroundings, concentration on the presentation or solving technical problems. These facts can sometimes be complex, and this can lead to higher brain fatigue and reduced attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in general, long video calls can cause fatigue and stress because our brains have to work harder during a call than if we were meeting face-to-face. These video meetings can also lead to a lack of privacy and the need to be "online" all the time, which can be exhausting. This topic was also focused on research<\/a> in 2021 from Microsoft, which proved that even just ten-minute breaks keep stress lower and prevent it from increasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
