The pandemic pushed it into our lives: many Online Meetings - mostly with Video. After the first honey moon of it, we face Zoom fatigue. But how tired are you really?
@claudia_lucia_burtscher , we are actually developing a solution to have more productive 1:1s and team meetings. Please check zipdo.co - We are launching our MVP soon and if you want to be one of the first users to try it out, please contact me at ajeser[at]zipdo.co or join our waitlist.
I think that in general, we're very tired of useless and non-necessary Online Video Meetings :).
When used properly, and with the right preparation, mood, and frequency, it's a great way to collaborate, work together and see each other in the eyes.
Of course, time optimization and avoiding an overwhelming number of meetings or a dangerous proliferation certainly would lead to tiredness and burnout. Like exactly anything else ;).
Long meeting can be tiring, specially with bad audio setup, which is hard to avoid really. Many a times I have had headaches after long day of meeting.
I will not say that I am tired of online meetings sometimes. They can get tiresome and extensively long when the team is struggling to achieve the purpose of the meeting. I usually enjoy online meetings; they are fun and easy-going rather than physical meetings.
I don't mind them, like any meeting if there is a clear agenda then they are a lot more tolerable, in-house meetings to me can be just as tiring. I was working for remote teams way before Covid hit so it's now just normal to me thankfully. Anything that means not commuting is a plus.
The online video meetings are here to stay. We have to face it, technology can help us and we should use it wisely. Talking about online meetings, we are launching today a new meeting scheduler called Ourly by Serviceform.
Check it out and give us your feedback!
I absolutely despise video meetings now. But mainly because of a few companies I work for that like to get distracted with small talk, or start a meeting for something that could be relayed in 2 slack messages
One trick that I started to do is to have walking meetings.
Even with or without a dog, it's a good opportunity to talk to others in a new environment, breaking the routine, especially if you don't have to present anything during the meeting. With modern phones and headsets, the noise isolation levels are surprisingly good!
I don't mind online meetings. I mind that people are so used to the anti-socialising that they do not longer turn on the camera. I mean, how hard is that? But I guess it depends on how the manager sees this.
I think people who have Zoom fatigue are using the software incorrectly. It was not intended to be a place you go to sit for 8 hours a day. Hop on a meeting with a clear agenda or a deck and get in and out within a 15, 30, or 60 min timeframe. Staying true to this process helps a lot!
at the time of COVID it is necessary to do video meetings rather than physical meeting rather time passage it become headache now I'm tired of video meetings
I like a mix. Some days I really want to get out and be in person, but the convenience of online is sweet also. It just depends on if I am in hermit mode or not.
