Here's one. In a family Zoom gathering, an elderly aunt was trying to figure out how to use the virtual background. She accidentally set it to a beach scene and then tried to 'walk' into the ocean, not realizing it was just a virtual effect. We all cracked up at her confusion.
Sure. One time in a Zoom meeting, my cat decided to walk across my keyboard right when I was unmuted. It made the most random typing noises and everyone was so confused at first, then they just burst out laughing.
In a particular zoom class, the teacher was using a new digital whiteboard tool. But he accidentally made the whole screen go crazy with lines and shapes all over the place. He was so confused trying to fix it while we were all laughing. It took him a good few minutes to get it sorted and we had a great laugh about his 'artistic' whiteboard mess.
One funny Zoom story is about a guy whose cat walked across his keyboard during a meeting and accidentally unmuted him. All of a sudden, everyone heard the cat meowing loudly. Another is when a person had a really elaborate virtual background set, but when they stood up, their real messy room was revealed for a second. And there was this one time where a person's kid ran into the room during a serious presentation, wearing a superhero cape and shouting 'I'm here to save the day!' which made everyone on the call laugh.
One time in a zoom class, the teacher's cat suddenly jumped onto the keyboard and started walking all over it. The teacher was trying to shoo it away while we were all laughing. It made the whole class really light - hearted.
Sure. I was in a Zoom party and someone had their camera pointed at the wrong thing at first. Instead of showing their face, it showed their messy room and a pile of dirty laundry. They quickly realized and fixed it, but not before we all got a good laugh.
Sure. There was a Zoom story where a group of friends organized a surprise baby shower for a pregnant friend. They had games, sent her gifts in advance, and the whole event was filled with laughter and joy. It was really heartwarming to see how technology could bring people together for such a special occasion.
One horror story is when someone's pet suddenly started making a huge racket in the background during an important work Zoom meeting. The person was trying to mute but accidentally unmuted themselves instead, and the dog barking and cat meowing became the center of attention for a very awkward few minutes.
One horror story is when someone's pet suddenly made a lot of noise during an important Zoom call. The cat jumped on the keyboard and started walking all over it, causing the person to accidentally mute and unmute themselves repeatedly while trying to shoo the cat away. It was really embarrassing as they were in a serious work meeting.
Sure, it depends on the context. Sometimes you can zoom in on stories to focus on specific details or characters.
A memorable one was when a presenter on Zoom forgot they had a filter on. They had a dog face filter and didn't notice until someone finally told them halfway through the presentation. It was so funny to see their professional talk with a dog face.
