This past March, I was using my Zoom account to play poker with buddies the night before I had a meeting. I had an inappropriate background for the poker sesh. I didn't realize that Zoom defaults to the last used background, so when I turned my background on for the meeting the next day, there it was for 50 folks to see. I think on ordinary times I would have been fired.

Clearly I need to find a background throne flanked with hunky gym rats and shirtless psudo firefighters etc.

The client actually started asking questions whether I had actually had done any research, and he backed me up saying I had good insights to add.

Happened a few weeks ago. Joined a call a minute early and left my camera on while I went to make myself a cup of coffee. My dog jumped on the coach and started licking herself right in front of the camera. I came back and my entire team was cracking up
