Unfortunately, one of my friends couldn’t figure out how to completely remove her background, rather than just changing it to another one – she ended up doing the whole meeting with the grass background, because, after going through them in front of us all, she felt it was the best of a bad bunch.” 8. “A couple of my co-workers were fooling around with backgrounds and filters while we were waiting for our boss to arrive to the Zoom meeting. He’d propped his phone up somewhere on the desk, and all was going well until he accidentally nudged his desk and the phone fell onto the floor – revealing that while he had a smart work shirt on, he hadn’t bothered with pants at all. “One of my workmates was using their phone for a meeting due to webcam issues. Turns out my mic wasn’t muted at all, and my boss and all my colleagues heard the entire thing. I must have looked visibly annoyed because my dad asked what was up – thinking my mic was muted, I started ranting about the meetings and how I just can’t be bothered with them, and how my boss is an idiot for thinking the meetings are even helpful. It wasn’t a big deal at first, it only takes about 15 minutes, but after a while, it started to get annoying.Īnyway, I was on the meeting the other day, and we were held up waiting for one of my workmates so that we could start. “My manager has been making us take part in daily Zoom briefings to talk about much work we’ve gotten done that day. Needless to say, my boss didn’t find it as funny as my friends had.” 5. Of course, I forgot to reset it before hanging up, which meant that, come to my next work meeting, I of course joined with the same background. “On a Zoom call with my friends, I’d set my custom background to a really embarrassing old photo of me – the sort where I’d taken it from the angle that gave my most exaggerated triple chin – to make my friends laugh. Needless to say, she very quickly started to have ‘issues’ with her computer and had to leave and rejoin a couple of minutes later – with her background cleaned up a little, of course.” 4. Her face, when she read my text to her, was so unfortunate but so funny. I’m not sure if anyone else noticed, but I thought I’d best let her know. One of my workmates didn’t take that much care though… on a meeting the other day, I quickly noticed she’d left a – how can I put this? – adult toy on the table next to her bed. “One thing I’ve oddly really liked about Zoom meeting is looking at everyone’s background at what their rooms are like, so I always make sure there’s nothing dodgy in my own background because I know that someone’s going to look. Nobody could see him, but if they could, they’d see him almost crying with laughter.” 3. I was even more uncomfortable after stood there for a second wondering what to do, before just deciding to own it and sit on the sofa opposite me. I guess he didn’t get the text though – about ten minutes into my meeting, my boyfriend walked straight into the living room, and into the background of my call, with a slice of toast in one hand, a cup of coffee in the other, and wearing nothing but his pants. I texted him to tell him not to come into the living room for a while, as I was busy with my meeting.

I had to go to a Zoom meeting one morning a few weeks back, and hadn’t told my boyfriend as he was asleep at the time. I’m sure you can see where this is going… It’s been pretty great for the most part! Only thing is, he’s on Furlough pay while I’m still working full-time from home, so at times, he forgets that I could be on the phone or video calls before he walks into the room. “Me and my boyfriend both live alone, but decided to move in together whilst we’re on lockdown. This went on repeatedly until my boss decided to end the meeting early due to ‘technical difficulties’… I still don’t think he knows who was really behind it!” 2. He decided to get around this by kicking the boss from the meeting! The boss reclicked the link to join again but was kicked again a few minutes later. This co-worker is a bit of an office clown and noticed later on in the meeting that he’d never given the hosting duties back to my boss… the meeting had started to go on for a while, and we were all getting pretty hungry and were ready to get off camera, and my co-worker obviously could tell. “My boss recently held a meeting via Zoom, and had to make one of my co-workers the host so that he could screen share a presentation.
