Abstract

With the pandemic onset, reports of Zoom Fatigue have been on the rise. We examined potential Zoom Fatigue via self-reported surveys. We anticipated that the high mental demand of videoconferencing usage would be associated with increased anxiety, stress, and burnout. The results of our linear regression analyses supported our hypothesis.
