How tired are you of Online Video Meetings?

As we are located in different locations and time zones, we have it just once weekly and it`s actually a great opportunity for us to actually come together and discuss matters. It´s something I am looking forward to, as it can feel quite isolating at times to just chat.

To be honest, they're not my favorite, but sometimes it's necessary evil, just to get things going in the right direction.

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.

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 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 ;).

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 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.

I like online meetings as they start and end on time but there are times when I miss meeting people physically

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
