A always loudly say "hey can you guys hear me?" after putting myself on mute. Worst case - they can and I'm like "sorry I lost you there for a sec". Try mute again - "How about now?"

This is a good idea. I usually say “test,” starting soft and getting increasingly loud, but I have no idea what I’d do if someone heard me

Well, did you dial in via WiFi and go on mute in the zoom app?

Had zoom call me so it was a phone call

Had this happen with iphone and google voice after putting call on hold then off hold and things looked like on mute but nope! Luckily was pointed out but now I am totally paranoid.

I'll always remember hearing on a conference call "There's [insert swear word meaning poop] everywhere!"

This was pre covid of course.

I left myself off mute when I started doing intense yoga breathing which sounded super sexual on a call with 100 people most of them managers / above.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
