First Ever Zoom Meeting

Roy

I’ve got to the age of 57 without ever doing a zoom meeting, this week saw my first ever meeting. I don’t think I will be doing another one.

I had to do a three hour speed awareness course online, the person hosting the course spoke to all nine participants privately, I told him I’m autistic and wanted to know if the other people will be able to see me and I them, I struggle with eye contact. Basically I just had to get on with it and there would only be a 10 minute break in the three hours.

The tech side of it took me a while to setup, after the three hours I was exhausted, I suppose it’s my fault for speeding, option B was three points and a £100 fine.
I don’t know how people do online meetings every day, sorry just venting.

  • Yes I don't like them, I can't concentrate being able to see myself on camera and having all those faces staring back at me, not knowing where to look. I did speed awareness in person and found it OK. There were a lot of people there so I didn't feel attention was just on me like I do online (even if it isn't, it's just how I feel).

    At least it's done now!
