What’s the worst thing you’ve witnessed in a Teams/Zoom meeting?

I am ultra paranoid about online meetings, as I’ve witnessed a few mishaps:

  1. A woman took a personal phone call and didn’t realise a colleague had left their mic on. She started slagging the whole team off and we could hear every word.
  2. A man left his mic on and went to the toilet
  3. Not me personally - but a friend was in a meeting where a woman left her cam on by accident and she had just got out of the shower. She then got dressed in full view of everyone on the meeting.

I wouldn’t dare do any of those things even near my laptop, just incase of an accident occurring.

Someone eating an apple in a slobbery manner very close up.

I have a colleague who eats on every call, not on camera but it’s very off putting. Last week she was slurping an ice pole!

Waiting for a UK wide teams call to start. All deadly quiet until someone yelled ‘you fucking cocksucker!’
