How video meetings can cause stress:

More focus is needed to process non-verbal communication such as facial expressions, tonal variation, body language

The self-awareness of being watched may make you feel that you are performing and lead to performance anxiety

Delays or latency: even a 1.2 second delay can make you perceive the responder as unfriendly or unfocussed. In a real-life conversation silence is normal, but on a video call it can cause irritation

We can place huge expectations on ourselves to maintain our optimum work performance due to concerns about job security and the economy.
