Any funny stories during Teams/Zoom calls you've experienced? I go first: a client during a call started to loudly pe e and then flushed afterwards. There was a brief, awkward silence, and then all of us started to laugh out loud. No big deal. Things happen.

Someone was attending a meeting using their phone and they accidentally turned their camera on. (Happens quite often)

In this instance you could see them walking around cleaning and doing laundry in their pajamas.. all while an executive was speaking. They were front and center on the split screen. Someone eventually must’ve sent them a text.. they looked at their phone, smiled, then shut the video off.

One time someone was talking during a global teams meeting and mid sentence thought they lost connection. So then they started angrily dropping F and S bombs. During the meltdown, their entire team including the director and global teams in 2 other countries were listening in. The meeting was being recorded.

Another time, a manager was sharing their screen on teams to demonstrate a new program feature we were rolling out. When he went to switch browser tabs, it switched to a woman bending over a motorcycle in thongs. At that point, someone said “wow” in a really loud and pleasing voice. The presentation was also being recorded.

Someone just casually lit a cigarette during a call and hit drags before speaking. Granted it was an international teams call so I don’t know if that’s not unusual in that country but partner and I were visibly amused.

Crazy ethics issue. Client 1 has VPO against man who later becomes Client 2. This is the 4th VPO this year, previous ones dismissed.

In the meantime, State has filed rape charges against man who becomes Client 2 and A/B charges against Client 1. Client 1 also files for divorce.

Clients reconcile (which is how they both end up clients...) and want VPO dismissed, divorce dismissed, and criminal charges dismissed.

DHS gets involved and want to remove the child from Client 1's custody. (1/2)
