Best Moments Working From Home During Coronavirus Outbreak

ETONLINE

With Zoom, the video conferencing website and app, finding new popularity as people around the world self-isolate at home amid the coronavirus pandemic, some users are still finding their way around the meeting tool and others like it.

And, one person’s learning curve is another person’s entertainment!

Although there have been reports of security issues with Zoom, the tool's users have brought laughter to many around the globe, from the boss who appeared as a potato through an entire meeting, to the woman who accidentally went to the bathroom with her camera still running.

Here are some of our favorite virtual meeting goofs.

◆ Miss Potato Head

Lizet Ocampo, the political director at People for the American Way, recently turned up to her Monday morning meeting as a potato. Ocampo had downloaded the filter, along with other fun looks, for a virtual happy hour the Friday beforehand, but forget she had done so. "So Monday morning, we had our meeting and I usually try to do a camera, and when we started the meeting, I saw myself as a potato. I was so confused as to why I was a potato. Of all the things I could be, why a potato?" she said, according to BuzzFeed News, adding that she could not figure out how to remove the filter. "I just kind of gave up and stayed as a potato for the rest of the call."

One of the call’s participants shared a screenshot of the meeting, before noting that Ocampo was fine with her posting the image and that her job was safe after they “hashed” it out. Ocampo then urged her newfound potato-loving following to stay home. “I yam potato boss. Please stay planted at home,” she tweeted.

◆ Pee Break

A Zoomer named Jennifer didn’t let her meeting get in the way of needing to pee. However, she was left red-faced when she took her laptop into the bathroom with her and forgot to turn the camera off. In a video clip shared from the meeting, Jennifer can be seen walking through the house beforre pulling down her pants and plopping herself down on the toilet. After peers gasped and giggled, she turned the camera away before asking, “What happened?”

“Poor Jennifer,” one person observed.

However, the gaffe has been a hit, even igniting the hashtag #poorjennifer. "I honestly hope poor Jennifer knows she is a goddamn national treasure for providing us all with such laughter in the middle of a global pandemic," wrote one social media user.

◆ Belly-Baring Dad

Suncoast News Network anchor and reporter Jessica Lang was not impressed when her father walked into shot, rubbing his belly. “What did you do mom?” she questioned, after her mother (who was presumably filming her) signaled something was wrong. “Dad! Holy crap!” she then exclaimed, mortified. She later shared the clip on Twitter, writing, “Work from home they said, it’ll be fine they said.”

The journalist then responded to a user who pointed out it was her dad’s house by writing, “This was take 28 lol it was a struggle lol!”
