How BlinkIn Video Calls can help avoid Zoom Fatigue

Zoom fatigue can be described as a collection of various physical and psychological consequences of several hours of back-to-back video conferencing in the aftermath of moving the workforce into the virtual space in a post-pandemic world. These consequences have lasting effects on one's physical and mental health, well-being, and their ability to remain productive. The effects of Zoom fatigue are very concerning as so many of us have no choice but to work in a virtual environment every day from our homes. But who are we to complain about it amidst a pandemic? 

Still, it is fair to say that day after day of videoconferencing is exhausting and mind-numbing - and very often users are left feeling unproductive at the end of the day.

Additionally, standard video conferencing platforms are not designed to be used advantageously in different, specialised fields like remote technical support, auditing, consulting etc.

How can the features offered on the BlinkIn platform help combat Zoom fatigue?

First and foremost: face-to-face is often overrated! 

From a customer service point of view, is there any benefit to looking at each other while trying to discuss a damaged parcel, a failing dishwasher or a stranded car? 

We think not! We would rather put the spotlight on understanding and resolving the actual problem at hand.
