What’s the most ridiculous look you’ve ever had in a meeting?

a year ago by LanFee to c/remotework

One time I joined a call after a long night with barely any sleep, eyes barely open.. and the moment I heard, "Camera on, please" I turned it on without thinking only to realize I wasn’t even wearing a shirt! Luckily I reacted fast and turned it off within a second. Somehow no one said anything, and to this day I still don’t know if anyone saw me.

I was sitting on a bouncy stool and basically bounced up and down throughout the entire meeting. I ended up making someone seasick.

I was cat sitting for my neighbor and during a Zoom call he jumped on my back and started scratching me. I pushed him off, but he kept coming at me. I ended up returning him the same day. That cat was wild!

The secret is always have the camera off. Eventually everyone gets used to it.

5 years of wfh starting because of covid. I've not once had my camera on for an external meeting (multiple daily). Only got shit for it twice.

I do pop my cam on for team meetings tho but I'm willing to do that to keep the peace

Luckily for me my job has to use Teams so no cameras because apparently Teams can't handle the bandwidth for the meetings. So now I don't have to be on camera.

WFH rookie. You always have a zip up sweatshirt or sweater and a hat within reach. Within about 8 seconds you can be camera ready.
