      As a linguist, waving is a brilliant solution to bridge the sudden disappearance at the end of a video call: esp in a group, when you can see everyone's waving, you know they're all ready to leave It's like standing up, picking up your coat/bag - transitional movementshttps://twitter.com/claremackint0sh/status/1263481311907504128 …

      Why do I feel compelled to WAVE at the end of Zoom calls? I have literally never walked out of a meeting room WAVING. pic.twitter.com/fSMS7UQLtt

      A gesture linguist (who I happen to videochat with a lot) agrees!https://twitter.com/superlinguo/status/1263696495800279040 …

      A thing I believed even before our whole working lives moved to video chat: the best way to end a video call is a sustained hand wave while hanging up. Clearly indicates you know you're on video but the call has concluded. It's not weird to cut off mid-wave 👋

      One of the big differences with walking out of a meeting room vs a videocall is that you can still expect to see someone in the hallway after a physical meeting, which is not the case at all in videochat! So we do need a fuller farewell, which a wave can accomplish!

      also there's this weird gap in time where you're face to face with everybody, but you're also looking for that Leave Meeting button. This fills the gap!

      Totally worth learning the “leave meeting” shortcut and disabling the confirmation to minimize this existential pain (Cmd+W on Mac, Alt+F4 on Windows, + see screenshot for the confirmation switch)pic.twitter.com/auRCDVkQGQ
