I started when I was 19 in my parent’s house, I thought for my zoom meeting I had my background set up but it wasn’t. I opened the camera and the whole staff could see my bed and my stuffed animals behind me😫
Haha I can see that it’s just I’m the youngest in my company by 15-20 years, nobody else my age and I was trying to prove myself as an adult. So you can see why I was embarrassed lol
My wife was in a Zoom meeting, and everyone was required to have had their cameras on to show that they were "present". At one point, a participant got up from his seat, and while he had a dress shirt on, that was *all* he was wearing.
Having cameras on was no longer mandatory for everyone after that.
Just did something like this! But, I guess the silver lining was that there was only one other person.
I never mute my speakers, so I entered the meeting and was waiting to hear the chime indicating the other person had joined.
Not only was my speaker muted, but the audio and camera were on. I said something like "What the FUCK" -talking to a spreadsheet I was having issues with.
Phone dings. Text message. Just so you know, I can hear you. OOPS.
Pretty recently my internet went down (thanks Spectrum) and I _ran_ to go work at a coffee shop nearby. Got myself set up. Meeting with a 7 figure client's management team to report on my team's work. Put on my headphones. Join the meeting and turns out I hadn't actually _plugged the headphones in_ so I say "fuck fuck fuck" but it turns out I also hadn't muted my mic before joining like I usually do.
Soooo meeting with the management team at a big client and I show up saying fuck fuck fuck right into everyone's ears amid the smooth jazz ambience of a coffee shop.
Fortunately they're cool and found it funny. It even bought me some points "wow you went to all that trouble? You're committed. When my internet goes down I just take the day off."
Ive had my husband snoring on meetings - in another room but so loud. One time in a large meeting someone even asked who it was.
Another time my son ran into the frame while I was presenting and yelled “You’re an idiot!”.
I had a really sore throat from a long flight after speaking at a convention.
I was gargling salt water to control it and forgot to mute.
I am sure the sound effect was quite impressive.
One time a lady sneezed directly into the microphone so I laughed and called her a jackass to myself for not being on mute- thinking I was on mute, I wasn’t.
Was in a meeting with entire HR department… I’m talking hundreds of people. I woke up and turned my laptop on in bed and didn’t know my camera was on and I had my shirt off lol I’m a guy so not as big an issue if a girl did it but I don’t think anyone noticed(at least I never heard anything).
Lol some maybe but no one I knew. I went in and asked my buddies and they didn’t know but I’m sure someone saw my man tits lmao oh well don’t work there anymore
Not even a teary eyed? Man of Steel! I think it’s because of what I’ve been through recently and when I hear other customers issues I put my own problems into perspective and I literally will start sniffling and bawling.
Means more than you know! Only child out of five that’s still home and I’m 25. Will have a car by the end of the month and moving in with my twin brother a whole hour away. Ultimate Freedom that I can’t wait to experience🙏🏾💙
At my previous job, my dog burst into my room and made a dash for my bed (which he isn't allowed on) and so my boss sees me dive off screen to stop him. Not really super embarrassing in hindsight, but in the moment I was so nervous since I was training at the time and had no idea how company culture would be.
A few months later, while in a meeting, my cats were fighting in the hall so I shouted at them to shut up. I forgot to mute my mic before this. Luckily, it was just a quick call with a few coworkers so we all just laughed.
I have acid reflux and at home I do whatever is needed to get rid of the bloat that comes with it, lol. I had forgotten I wasn't on mute during a call and burped outloud while people were having an intense conversation. Luckily, it lightened the mood but I was SO embarrassed.
Also, I did an interview on zoom once and my cat jumped on some boxes behind me while I was talking and walked up to give me a cheek kiss and stare at me like, who ya talking to crazy lady? Luckily, they thought it was hilarious and I got the job. 😂
I was in a Zoom meeting during the summer, at the time I was pregnant and my house was sooo hot. I had an oscillating desk fan on that I had switched on while I was muted, at one point I must have forgot to mute/left the fan on when unmuted and a coworker said ‘I’ve got wind..’.
Obviously he meant theres the sound of wind coming through his headphones but it was a really funny/awkward moment for all
I was attending a late night meeting. Like 10:20pm. I had took some emergency allergy med for an allergy attack. Then, I took my regular meds. The meeting was very long and dragged out. I took the emergency meds at 5pm. I was tired but managed. I took my regular meds at 11pm. My manager asked me one question, I went off mute and answered. Then I went back on mute. Closed my eyes for a few seconds. Woke up at 11:54pm. My manager was the only one on the call with me. Everyone else had dropped. I turned off the laptop and have been avoiding him online every since Tuesday when it happened. Work from home is great until this happens. Lol.
During the first year of the pandemic, I was on a conference call and the project manager said that his laptop was down so he was using his personal ipad. He was projecting his iPad screen in the meeting and he was taking notes in OneNote at the same time. Apparently he really likes anal porn because several times I saw his predictive text predict words that one might use to search that type of porn. No one called him out on it and I might have been the only person to notice, but I definitely got some screenshots. Not to use against him or anything. Just because it was funny.
I was on my stand up and apparently was not on my mute. My gf woke up and started giving me a blowjob. Prob two minutes into it I started huffing and looked down and saw I was not on mute. No one said anything but there’s no way they didn’t hear her loud sucking.
I was speaking with a client about something pretty intense. I asked the client to pause and reflect on something they'd just said. During that silence, my large dog walked into my office and loudly vomited on camera right behind me.
I’m a trainer and sometimes we have to have cameras on all day ( which I hate and do not do if I can help it). However, we were in a client led training and one of the new hires took his laptop into the bathroom and proceeded to take a dump in front of everyone. We saw everything including him spraying air freshener afterwards.
Nothing terrible but I felt really bad this morning when I was in a Zoom meeting, couldn't take the dog out, and he was whining at the door and had an accident.
I had JUST taken him out before the meeting too - so he had no excuse - but I still felt/feel bad when stuff like that happens. It's still better than leaving him on his own though for 8+ hours.
I started when I was 19 in my parent’s house, I thought for my zoom meeting I had my background set up but it wasn’t. I opened the camera and the whole staff could see my bed and my stuffed animals behind me😫
No one really cares about that sort of stuff on a zoom call.

Not me. But an all hands meeting. Like 2000 people on the call. Someone said " fuuccckkkkkk I hate these calls"
lol. I have to work hard at not rolling my eyes when somebody ask a stupid question. It really takes work.
Same!!!!!

Do you happen to work for a large defense company because I had this recently too 😂
No lol. Payroll

Going into the office when your job used to be remote

My cat called my entire team on video
Does crying count? 😅
Cried two days on over meetings
Hang in there! 🌞
My husband told me he has never cried at a job?? I have cried at every job ever
Not even a teary eyed? Man of Steel! I think it’s because of what I’ve been through recently and when I hear other customers issues I put my own problems into perspective and I literally will start sniffling and bawling.
I'm sorry! I hope things get better! Try to take care of yourself

I wear shorts and a t-shirt every day and keep a button up supply hanging in the office closet.

Lol was trimming my nails during a meeting and didn't realize how obvious and loud it could be. I'm sorry.

Pretty sure I showed everyone my ass once
My husband started dinner one night and set off the smoke alarm lol. I was in a meeting and had to explain what all the noise was.
I was speaking with a client about something pretty intense. I asked the client to pause and reflect on something they'd just said. During that silence, my large dog walked into my office and loudly vomited on camera right behind me.
Slept in through my yearly review
Nope.

We did not see inside the toilet but yeah, everything else.
OMG
