My current job has a lot more video calls than prior. It took some getting used to. I find the biggest challenge to be the urge to do some low-quality work simultaneously. What's helped me on that is:
- Use a good monitor or TV. Ideally not the main one you use to work.
- Move, physically, from my desk to a place I take the calls in. Enter 'meeting mode' not 'desk mode'
- Close all other applications. Full screen video.
- Turn off other monitors
- Take notes via notebook
I bet building a room would help, but these things worked for me in an apartment where that wasn't an option. Still takes energy to focus on it though.
