I’ve coined ‘Zambush’ (zoom-ambush) - the awful and increasingly frequent situation where a conference call in your diary suddenly gets changed to a Zoom (too late to brush hair, apply mascara....touch up filter on max again then.....)

Sneedlework or Snitting - sneakily stitching embroidery or patchwork or knitting below camera level whilst looking engaged on the zoom call.
