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.

  • I hope you feel better after venting. No need to apologise, that must have been a lot for you to endure all in 3 hours. Well done on doing it though, no easy task to do x.

    I've had to do Zoom meetings twice, one with family who live at the other end of the world, and I did one as a sort of job interview, lasted about 47 minutes. I remember feeling really stressed and awkward during the whole Zoom session. Didn't enjoy it at all. I was exhausted after both and spent the next day recovering from the ordeal.

    Rest up today. I hope you feel better.
