The 5 Most Obvious Signs You’re Not Paying Attention on Video Work Calls, Ranked

5. Your utter lack of virtual humanity

We all miss exposure to what we’ll call “people and animals who are not living in our own home.” So when we see a foreign living object in a Zoom call, people who are human — and paying attention — react in real time. You do not. You have a three-seconds-to-infinity delay.

4. Your blank stare

It’s like you’re on a first date and your eye contact is too good. It makes you suspicious. You’re so good at this! It’s creepy! It’s somewhat effective! Also, though: We’re on to you. You are, without a doubt, toggling back and forth to Instagram.

3. Your repetition
