How to Combat Conference Call & Zoom Fatigue?

Suffering from too many back-to-back meetings, consider making meetings 25 or 50 minutes (instead of the standard half-hour and hour) to give yourself enough time in between to get up and move around for a bit. If you are on an hour-long video call, make it possible for people to turn off their cameras for parts of the call. To combat mental fatigue, encourage people to use plain backgrounds (e.g. a poster of a peaceful beach scene), or agree as a group to have everyone who is not talking turn off their video. Make virtual social events opt-in. After a long day of back-to-back video calls, it’s normal to feel drained, particularly if you’re an introvert.
