Britons working remotely are suffering from an epidemic of 'Zoom fatigue', a new study reveals. According to the survey, video calls are more tiring for staff than face-to-face meetings and other forms of digital communication like emails and texts. 102 employees working remotely during the first lockdown, were asked to keep a diary for ten days. They found that workers making many video calls via platforms like Zoom, Skype, Slack and Microsoft teams found it difficult to relax at the end of the day. The first lockdown from March 23 saw the number of adults making online video calls double, according to Ofcom.
