It doesn't need to be every meeting every day (and that's not even getting into how productivity sapped by meetings affects emotional grounding - most people need a lot fewer of them than they're actually having).

I posit that the added stress of (especially unnecessarily) strained bandwidth - for necessary work, or keeping kids' cabin fever at bay - is far harder on that emotional state than a stuttery, pixelated view of your coworkers solves... Especially when you throw a micromanager, freaking out about not being about to physically count heads and look over shoulders, into the mix.
