I find in person meetings more fatiguing than zoom meetings.

In a zoom meeting, when the topic turns for my particular focus I can refocus myself either by getting up (wireless headphones) stretching, maybe nipping out on the porch and getting some fresh air or taking care of some other task on my computer without disrupting the meeting in any way.

In an in-person meeting, these things would be seen as rude and/or distracting.

This is less of a concern in both cases in 1:1 type meetings where the conversation is generally focused or it's easier to call a break.
