Or simply say "oh man. Sorry, my machine says it is rebooting for a mandatory update in 90 seconds and to save work. Don't know why our IT group does this!"

Poor IT taking the blame for everything 😂

Switch computer off.
Text the meeting in the group's chat via your phone saying your computer just shut down / broke and you're trying to get on it asap.
Turn it back on with 5 mins of the meeting left to spare.

This is more of a rant than anything but advice is welcome. I’m so fed up with my manager micromanaging everything. We miss client deadlines frequently because deliverables are backlogged under their review, they make comments on things they weren’t in client discussions about, and won’t listen when told client wanted it X way. I’m at a loss for what to say to them because I’ve tried repeatedly to fix this to no avail.
