Physiological videoconference fatigue (PVCF) has emerged as a significant threat to employee well-being. While current research focusses on the drivers of PVCF, this study integrates expectancy-violations theory to examine how prior expectations regarding videoconferences influence subsequent physiological recovery to homeostasis. We conducted a 2x3 between-subject laboratory experiment and measured PVCF through skin conductance within a simulated videoconference environment. Preliminary results indicate that higher amplitudes in physiological arousals do not necessarily lead to longer recovery times and that violated expectations lead to longer recovery times than confirmed expectations.
