As we ease our way out of lockdown the cycle of video calls is likely to continue for some time yet. Here’s our practical tips on how to minimise the dreaded ‘Zoom fatigue’: - Keep video calls short - ideally no more than 30 minutes. Video conferencing is INTENSE as it just not ‘normal’ to hold each other’s eye contact for so long. In fact, the brain interprets it as confrontational, and our stress levels start to rise. - Turn off self-view. This means you don’t need to look at your own face all the time which let’s face it (no pun intended) is mightily off-putting. In the real world we wouldn’t want to have someone following us around with a mirror all day! - Position your camera as far away as possible. Maybe not the other end of the room, but far away enough so you can move about a little. Research shows that movement boosts our brain function and gets the creative juices flowing. - If you find yourself in a long video call, then take an audio break. Think of it in the same way as taking that loo break during a long meeting. Turn the video off for a short while and do whatever you need to do to reenergise and reboot your brain Hope you have an energetic week! #retailmarketingservices #retailmarketing #retailweek #zoomfatigue #zoomlife #videoconference #toptips #mondaymorning #channelassist #selfcare #videoconferencing #videocalls
