Can you share a funny Zoom story from your experience?
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.
A funny Zoom story I remember was during a family gathering on Zoom. My little cousin was trying to show off his new toy but accidentally dropped it on his foot. He started crying and then laughing all at once. His expression was so comical that it made the whole family on Zoom laugh heartily. And it turned into this big moment of everyone sharing their own clumsy stories.
During a Zoom book club meeting, one member had a really cute dog that kept coming into the frame. The dog would bark at the computer screen as if it was trying to talk to us. Then it stole the member's bookmark and ran off with it. The chaos that ensued with the member chasing the dog while still on camera was extremely funny.
