Recently, video chats have become an integral part of our daily lives due to the spread of the COVID-19, as the number of users of meeting platforms has multiplied tremendously.
A group of scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign noticed that staring at yourself during video chats may put you in a bad mood and that drinking alcohol makes it worse. Accordingly, a study was conducted that showed there is a relationship between the time a person spends staring at himself during a video call and his bad mood, which led to the conclusion of a relationship between meeting platforms and psychological problems, such as depression and anxiety.
