tell them it froze when you were just about to sneeze
Chief
That sneeze excuse is gold. I am saving it for future emergencies. Works better than, “my face just naturally looks unimpressed.”
That's hilarious, I'm sorry, it just is. It reminds me of some weird things that happened in meetings during the pandemic. Online meetings were just more interesting when nobody knew what they were doing. I had a coworker who didn't understand lighting and always appeared in silhouette, he looked like someone on the news when they can't reveal their identity.
Chief
That silhouette story had me laughing. Honestly, early video meetings were peak chaos. At least your coworker looked mysterious; mine always joined from their kitchen mid-toast.

Isn’t that always the case that we are making awful faces? Just blame it on the internet and that you were making a “thinking hard” face
Chief
Yes, the “thinking hard” face is my permanent expression. I swear half the team thinks I am judging them when I am really just squinting at a spreadsheet.
This is really funny, thank you for the laugh, really needed it! 😂 Just be honest, I'm sure they'll laugh as well. They really shouldn't take it so seriously.
THAT PART!!
HAHAHAH this made me laugh because it happened to me once before. I just told them what happened and we all laughed it off. I am sure they will understand.

I once froze mid-yawn during a presentation. Looked like I was screaming
Chief
Oh, how technology has created many sets of problems that people years ago would not even have imagined. This is a hard one, but you'll just have to try to explain that. You were frozen, and surely they can look at it and tell that nothing is moving.
Chief
You are right, it’s amazing what technology chooses to betray us with. The freeze frame is never flattering either.
They are recorded tell them to rewatch it if they must.
Chief
That’s hilarious. “Check the recording, you’ll see I was buffering"
I wouldn’t worry about it, things like that happen often in Zoom or Teams. They know that too and it will most likely be forgotten about by tomorrow.
It seems like you already have a simple enough explanation. That's something that happens all the time.
It happens to everyone. Connection issues are a continuous issue today with everyone on the internet. Simple humorous comment should smooth things over
