Zoom fatigue?? Can we skip the video sometimes?

Because of the mental work of being online, let's be thoughtful about when we need video and when we don't. If we're listening to a webinar or exploring someone's PowerPoint we shouldn't have to be on video for that. A recent client confided that she was more distracted by seeing everyone's thumbnail and what different people were doing online.
Let's reserve video for discussions.
If I'm teaching, I can focus on strategies to keep my presentation interactive and allow participants to engage without video. I've taught many online workshops where I had my video on but no one else was on camera. I know my clients greatly appreciated this freedom.
