Constantly looking at yourself during video calls can have a negative effect on the brain and cause fatigue": the habit of looking at yourself during video calls can accelerate brain fatigue.
"Can't stop looking at your photo in the little zoom window during video conferencing? It turns out that this habit not only distracts from the conversation, but can also affect brain function and physical well-being.
Studies show that looking at your face during video calls can cause certain physiological and psychological reactions that negatively affect performance.
This phenomenon was called "zoom fatigue". It is believed that there are several reasons for this. One of them is the so-called "mirror effect".

Instead of focusing on the conversation, he begins to follow his appearance, facial expressions and behavior."
