‘The reason Zoom calls drain your energy’ BBC

https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20200421-why-zoom-video-chats-are-so-exhausting?ocid=ww.social.link.facebook&fbclid=IwAR3GdBuYBOyYYldAC1xDy_U_87Q_pNNz5HXZKD4pi0YWTH4o3am3qIgXf9w 

 

Psychologists, computer scientists and neuroscientists say the distortions and delays inherent in video communication can end up making you feel isolated, anxious and disconnected (or more than you were already). 

The problem is that the way the video images are digitally encoded and decoded, altered and adjusted, patched and synthesized introduces all kinds of artifacts: blocking, freezing, blurring, jerkiness and out-of-sync audio. These disruptions, some below our conscious awareness, confound perception and scramble subtle social cues. Our brains strain to fill in the gaps and make sense of the disorder, which makes us feel vaguely disturbed, uneasy and tired without quite knowing why.

 Using Zoom as a “digital dance studio”, ZMC offers the opportunity to learn from facilitators and masters of embodiment from across the world.

(I have no idea if this is any good! I found it down an internet rabbit-hole, but was interested because it talks about using your full body whilst on Zoom. I take no responsibility if it is a bit wild!)
