Similar to helpy-helpington-ism. Tendency to offer unsolicited help to attendees of a Zoom session, even when logged in purely as a participant.
Unable to repress his co-host-dependency, he directed participants and answered questions as they entered the videochat, forcing the actual hosts and co-hosts to clarify and redirect. Zoomified, he muted his mic and turned off his camera.

The intense fear by party-planners and hosts alike that each minute detail of an event will be less than perfect. Though not recognized as an actual disorder by the DSM-IV, host traumatic stress disorder afflicts millions of party hosts worldwide, and makes life miserable for everyone around them.
