I've read reports describing all four of these causes, so it's not true that Stanford researchers have "identified" them, only that they've "listed" them. That said, I do appreciate their efforts to create a standard method of measuring the phenomenon, which they call the the Zoom Exhaustion & Fatigue Scale (ZEF Scale). The survey, however, measures only online videoconferences (not just Zoom), and does not compare the responses with how fatiguing in-person meetings are for different people. This is important, because people respond to in-person meetings differently, and my own experience is that desktop videoconferencing is a lot less fatiguing than in-person meetings. (Other researchers should take note of the importance of institutional marketing for their work, and the use of open access publications and tools to help push their research forward).
