Why Do We Get 'The Zoom Fatigue'?

Zoom fatigue is when your brain feels like it's had a long day after just one video call. It happens because you're using more of your brain than usual, like when you have to talk, listen, and watch someone’s face all at once. That takes energy, and your brain gets tired faster.
