really struggling with ms team meetings

[Ghoulasha]

We have these weekly meetings on ms teams. I have social anxiety and am finding it really difficult. Each person has a turn to talk and say what theyve been up to in their personal lives as it's a informal chat. I fucking hate it.

Nothing to offer but I hate it too. I'm so anxious that my children will interrupt (my work aren't bothered about it but I am) and I hate how I look and sounds on on camera.

Oh god me too, I detest them, everyone I know is raving about how brilliant it is being able to stay in touch and it just makes me want to cry, why is it so much harder than a normal team meeting?

Say your internet connection is really poor and the only way it'll work properly is with mic only. Still means a mic but presumably better than a camera?

I've just flatly refused to take part in video calls. I've said I'll happily dial in on audio but I find video calls stressful so I won't be taking part.
