“Why Am I so Tired?” the Effect of Zoom-Related Nonverbal Behaviors on College Students’ Zoom Fatigue

We investigated the relationship between four nonverbal Zoom-related behaviors (excessive close-up eye gaze, high cognitive loads, constant self-evaluation, and reduced mobility) and Zoom fatigue in college students. Reduced mobility and increased self-evaluation were the most common behaviors and contributed most to the fatigue students reported after a day of videoconferencing.
