Psychologists coined the phrase Zoom fatigue’ to describe the exhaustion that can come from spending extended periods on videoconferencing platforms such as Zoom .

It was found that people who have more and longer meetings using the technology, or have more negative attitudes towards them, tend to feel more exhausted by them.

Some become so preoccupied with perceived flaws that they become anxious about attending meetings and may seek cosmetic procedures.

Dr Heng Zhang at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore assessed the level of fatigue that people felt after videoconferencing.

A moving image of palm trees swaying and waves crashing on a beach was linked to the highest levels of fatigue, followed by blurred backgrounds.

Those seeing a static virtual background experienced the least fatigue.
