15+ awkward zoom calls for people who still don't know how to mute themselves: 'A colleague activated a filter that turned them into a potato for the entire team meeting'

Who hasn't had a paranoid thought during a Zoom call? Perhaps you're wondering if you really are on mute or if your screen is still being shared and someone saw that passive-aggressive text you sent about your boss. Perhaps this paranoia is legitimate because something like this actually happened to you. Over the past several years, we have all had to adjust to these remote calls, and some employees are just not built for it.

This collection of Zoom mixups and mishaps ranges from workplace drama to online school fails. Remember that viral video of that lawyer who could not figure out how to remove the animal filter during his remote call? Well, to some degree, we have all been that person or we all will be some day. It's par for the course when technological advancements evolve faster than our collective societal ability to keep up with it all.
