During a big conference call, someone forgot to mute as he/she was flushing the toilet. Everyone bursted out laughing.
Someone fell asleep and started snoring loudly. For five minutes. We had to all hang up and start another call.
Some mildly funny stories, nothing horrific about mute button. But! Make sure you never ever project your desktop! Only the application you're sharing/presenting! Clients are regularly unaware of that even being an option. Once, the client was presenting the brand plan for the following year for us and we had a lot of questions and asked her to go back one slide. Meanwhile her chat window pops up on screen from her boss and message says "Oh God are they stupid???" You could see she fumbled trying to minimize it and started stuttering on the line. Later her boss had to call my boss to apologize to the agency team
dialed in with some new software; didn't realize my computer had to be on mute even though I wasn't presenting, wasn't paying attention to the call and was listening to music...ending played "sexy can i" to 100+ people. v v v thankful I was logged in as a guest.
Oh, and the first time I spoke to my regional office president was a 7am conference call that I took at home. My daughter came downstairs halfway through, and certain I was on mute I went into mom morning routine - "hi little girl! How did you sleep? I'm so glad to see you!!" Until a decidedly not little girl voice said in my earbuds "OK, that's very cute, but you're not on mute." 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Our coworker was WFH and was having sex with her boyfriend during the client status. She forgot to mute and he yelled her name... Busted.
My coworker was on an international client call - NYC to Asia so it was evening her time. She was multi-tasking planning a vaca and everyone heard her on her other phone asking the hotel questions about her upcoming stay. 😂😂 (she is my favorite person in the industry for this and many reasons)
popped a boob while seating myself on an extremely soft sofa while video conferencing. puppy's nose & erry thang .. (different role in another agency)
Boss was working from home and called into a big internal conference call. The kid came into the room and you could hear the boss screaming for the nanny to come get this goddamn kid out of here. Nobody acknowledged it.
Hah! I think I was on that snoring call. Priceless.
not really a horror story, but we allow dogs in our office...and one particular client always likes to video chat rather than a conference call. that doesn't work so well when dogs are chewing bones on the desk.

👆oh!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
