Limit video meets to 30 minutes to avoid brain fatigue: Microsoft
Do remote work and video meetings actually tax our brain more than
in-person work? According to Microsoft, due to high levels of sustained
concentration, the brain fatigue begins to set in 30-40 minutes into a video
meeting.
Moreover,
those who work from remote locations for a longer time, it becomes actually
difficult for them to adapt to office settings afterwards, according to the
company.
As millions of people work remotely, video conferences and online events have
become a norm but this has taken a definite toll on people's minds.
According
to Jared Spataro, Corporate Vice President for Microsoft 365, a
commonly discussed pain point of remote work is that it can feel more challenging
or tiring than in-person collaboration.
"Researchers
from our 'Human Factors Labs' recently set out to understand this phenomenon.
Do remote work and video meetings actually tax our brain more than in-person
work? The brain science suggests, yes," said Spataro.
