How to Cope With Zoom Anxiety

Move Mindfully

Zoom anxiety may happen when people feel trapped and cannot move freely during an online meeting. This is mainly because every movement seems to be more noticeable on screen. In contrast, you can easily stretch or adjust your posture during an in-person meeting or phone call. To prevent this, you can try the following tips while being on Zoom:

– Take a sip of coffee or water

– Stretch the neck or arms when they are too tense

– Let others know that you will be right back after grabbing a drink or snack

– Press your feet on the floor [4]
