Thanks for the feedback, it's very help and constructive! Regarding the 3rd point about screen fatigue on the computer, would a lower bandwidth (ie phone call or audio), help mitigate that issue? Although lacking non-verbal body cues, I have found 1:1 phone calls to be somewhat nice for long calls, usually bc I'm hands free (but unsure how it would apply in a short spontaneous conversation).
Again, thanks for your thoughts!
