What is Zoom Fatigue? 

Zoom fatigue is a type of exhaustion or burnout that individuals (particularly employees) encounter or feel as a result of extensive or excessive use of video conferencing - an electronic means of communication.

The name is derived from an industry-leading, video-teleconferencing software, “Zoom”.   

Zoom fatigue is considered a result of the increased level of remote work accompanying the COVID-19 protocols within companies.

  • Excessive information to absorb.
  • Constant viewing of a single individual within a screen.
  • Reduced movement or mobility when tied to a computer.
  • Cognitive Dissonance resulting from the additional brain power required to observe, identify, and deduce the meaning of non-verbal cues through an electronic means of communication.
