The coronavirus-induced quarantine has made people abandon their offices and start working from home. One of the biggest success stories during this relocation is Zoom, a chatroom that has gone from almost no one having ever heard of it to being a central instrument in our jobs.
And while we all are enjoying the app's features -- most importantly, custom backrounds -- many of us still aren't entirely comfortable with the change. Like, if you get up, the people you're talking to will see that you forgot you're not wearing any pants, if your partner starts a fight and you forget to turn off your mic, they will hear every little detail. And these aren't just hypothetical examples, these things happen.
The good thing is that quite a few hilarious jokes have been born thanks to these fails. That's right, people have been turning the awkwardness behind quarantine communication into memes, and you have to see them.

Ahhh...Intercourse, Pennsylvania, USA......which is unironically east of West Middlesex, Pennsylvania, USA....
I had to do three interviews for a job through Zoom. I can totally relate to this.
I am sure the background is a popular choice at the moment !
theres always that one space thats clean where i sit so people think I'm neat!
Just start coughing like super super loudly, and don't stop. Then make up some excuse, and I'm almost positive, they'll want you to leave too.
ooh, I hate that... I also hate when I'm the host and we all decide to go so I'm about to end the meeting, and it's taking so long cuz there's like twenty "are you sure?" boxes, and by the time I've ended the meeting everyone is gone. idk why i hate it i just do
I hate that it's suddenly the norm to videocall people. Hell no i dont have a camera on my desktop.
I had a virtual happy hour with friends recently. We had fun, and best of all, no concerns about DUI!
I was in a Zoom meeting yesterday for an activist group, and after the main meeting we were randomly sent to breakout rooms. The one I ended up in had only four people, and half the time we were all silent wondering what the hell to say.
Someone sent me this live. Dude is butt naked and shows a full frontal--TO his coworkers--for about 3 minutes!!! xD
There are a dozen solutions similar to Zoom, why is Zoom becoming synonymous with virtual meetings? We have been using Google Hangout, Adobe Connect, WebEx and the like for long before...
I use webex for my research meetings. I think it's great and free... other than my internet speed sucking, but everything else is great!
Load More Replies...I was on a zoom for my drivers ed class (that got cancelled) and the teacher had the cameras on, and there were a couple of kids vaping and there was this kid who was writing profanities on a notebook and it was a disaster. Apparently kids were sharing the link and other random kids were joining the drivers ed class for fun.... how bored must you be to do that?!!?
