In a Zoom class, a student accidentally had a filter on that made him look like a potato. He didn't realize it until someone pointed it out halfway through the class. He was so embarrassed but it made the class really fun. We all started joking about it and it became a running gag for the rest of the semester.
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.
Well, there was a Zoom meeting for work. One of my colleagues had his camera on and his little kid ran into the room wearing a superhero cape and started doing a victory dance. My colleague was so embarrassed but it was hilarious for the rest of us. We all had a good laugh and it actually lightened the mood of the whole meeting.
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.
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.
I remember a Zoom meeting where a person's dog started barking really loudly at the mailman outside. The person was trying to shush the dog while still looking professional on camera. It was quite a sight. Everyone was chuckling.
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.
Once in a meeting, the boss was very serious talking about new rules. But then a little puppy ran into the room. It belonged to someone in the office building. Everyone's attention shifted and we all ended up playing with the puppy for a while. The boss was left speechless at first but then couldn't help but laugh.
Sure. Once at a work meeting, a colleague was presenting and his tie got caught in the projector. As he moved around, the image on the screen started flipping all over the place. It was hilarious.
Sure. Once in a safety meeting, the safety officer was demonstrating how to use a fire extinguisher. But instead of properly aiming at the 'fire' (which was just a fake setup), he accidentally sprayed the extinguisher all over himself. Everyone burst into laughter while he stood there covered in white powder.
In a sacrament meeting, a young man was sharing his spiritual experience. But he was so excited that he started using a lot of modern slang words. He said things like 'it was lit' and 'on fleek' while trying to talk about his connection with God. It was really funny to see the mix of the modern language with the solemn setting of the sacrament meeting.
Another one is about Ellen DeGeneres. She once had a celebrity guest on her show who she was a huge fan of herself. When the guest walked out, Ellen was so star - struck that she forgot her normal comical intro and just blurted out how much she loved the person. They both had a good laugh about it later. Ellen's genuine reaction made it a really funny meeting story.
Sure. One time in a pretend 'alien invasion' meeting, we all had to come up with wacky defense plans. My friend suggested using squirrels as spies because they could get into small spaces. Another time in a made - up 'zombie apocalypse' meeting, someone proposed that we train cats to fight zombies. It was so absurd but hilarious.
