I can relate to that totally. I have had a hard time learning Zoom too. Mostly I have trouble with the audio though. It can be frustrating

Self-disclosure
It is frustrating, and last week, I had a panic attack shortly before class started. My ears were pounding and I could hear nothing the instructor was saying through my earbuds.

I know that is very difficult. When our anxieties take over it can be hard to think clearly. Have you tried casting the zoom on to a larger screen?
assistant
Reflection of feelings,Question
Yes. It is also hard to concentrate when my nephews are at home. Most of the monitors and TVs are taken by other household members, but I think I will buy another monitor.

I think getting yourself a new monitor is a great idea!

Affirmation and Reassurance
I have a laptop, but I need it full screened for Excel and Zoom takes up too much space, so that is why I had it on my phone. But I think a second monitor is an excellent idea, thank you.

In the meantime, take some deep breaths when you feel yourself start to get anxious. It may be helpful to explain the situation to your teacher as well

It sounds like you are trying to solve the issue but get overwhelmed like we all do. I think you are doing a great job. All of this new stuff is difficult to learn

Others,Question
Yes, I think it's hard to concentrate when others are at home during covid. Nephews are learning from home as well, but they get breaks and they try to get my attention when I am trying to study.

Have you tried explaining to them that you are trying to study?

I think I will ask my sister if I can use the laundry room as a little office so that I can close the door.
