Well, the problem for me specifically is the "hurry up and wait" feeling.
If the person operating a computer is doing stuff related to the meeting, time seem normal for them. But the person waiting has to remain focused to answer follow-up questions, so multitasking might not be a possibility.
Seeing a face helps in my experience, but I have no idea why. However, screen sharing is probably better. Or just not having long interruptions.
Ah, if it's that kind of 1-1, screen sharing definitely helps.
My 1-1's are almost always to discuss or troubleshooting something, so not much "downtime" at all. When troubleshooting, screen sharing is almost always used, otherwise I probably don't need the other person at all.
