Most of us have gotten a crash course in video conference call setup over the past several weeks. Most of them are pretty intuitive, but some folks just aren’t as tech-savvy as the rest of us, so the fails ensued.

my boss turned herself into a potato on our Microsoft teams meeting and can’t figure out how to turn the setting off, so she was just stuck like this the entire meeting pic.twitter.com/uHLgJUOsXk

My kid just walked into my video conference, yelled “look at my penis,” and hit the button on his fart machine. Working from home going really great!

If you do WFH and have a Skype meeting, always consider if the ‘art’ on the wall is:
A) In shot
B) Appropriate pic.twitter.com/CqRAvCV4AF— Gareth Barlow (@GarethBarlow) March 18, 2020

So, I have a parrot and online classes. We are not required to have video in the online class, so we just connect our microphones. Today, my bed, was extremely comfortable. As I got up at 10 am to join the online meeting in Zoom, my bed started calling me. I felt it. I joined, and didn’t mute myself. Normally I’d mute myself because I have a parrot. My parrot is an Indian Ringneck, and those bastards are loud af. I decided to fall asleep through the whole class as my bed felt so good. Only after I woke up an hour after the class I realised I was still in the meeting with an unmuted microphone. I texted one of my classmates and they told me they couldn’t have a normal class, and the teacher didn’t know how to kick me out. They also said they tried talking with the parrot, they told me he said “Hello” and “What you doing” and then proceeded to repeat “ok” for the duration of the class.

Day 3 of WFH and my family started screaming while I was in a meeting and my coworker remarked: “Now I understand why you prefer to go into the office everyday.”

Pro-tip: if you and your husband are both working from home, check to see if he’s on a four-way video call BEFORE running past the office naked to get a towel from the linen closet. #RealStory #COVID19 #WFH https://t.co/axghUWjvs2

Nobody:
Me thinking my mic is off: “why is she still talking I thought this was over”
My teacher: “friend you might wanna mute yourself”

Every WFH meeting so far:
“I’m sorry, you go…” “no, sorry I-” “Well what I was sayi-” “I’m sorry, were you saying something?” “Go ahead, no sorry, you go…”
*5 voices speak at once*
*suddenly no one speaks***SLOW PORTAL ZOOM INTENSIFIES DURING AWKWARD SILENCE**#COVID19

During social distancing, it’s important to remember good conference call etiquette:
– awkward silence
– can you hear me
– [weird small talk because someone is 10 min late]
– BEEP BOOP
– strange crunch
– heavy breath
– oops sorry you go ahead
– sorry no, you
– BOOP beep
– bye?— Julieanne Smolinski (@BoobsRadley) March 10, 2020

This AM, WFH and prepping for 5 meetings:
Me: I don’t have to put make-up on! Camera’s pretty blurry, no one’s gonna see this nose zit.
First meeting:
Coworker: There’s something stuck to your nose. Is it food?
Subsequent meetings:
Me: Yes, it’s a zit, let’s move on.
