I was screen sharing for a long time. And forgot I was doing it. And went on a LinkedIn tab I had opened from before. And clicked on the job posting. And applied. While my coworkers watched. I still work here.

Probably all so checked out they’re applying elsewhere too.
Guy screenshares to show a few slides of a deck in a meeting with at least 6 people… guy forgets he is screensharing… guy pulls up Twitter and starts scrolling through random bikini thirst trap vids… everyone on the call manages to remain cool and after about 30 seconds of silence someone asks if he can share the next slide. Lmao
My PM shared her whole desktop screen to share a timeline. Her Teams messages were in view and we all saw a message about our ACD. It said “Why is ______ so annoying?”

Did the ACD see it, too?
Partners having a slack convo about how the vendor didn't seem to know what they were talking about.....while on a call with said vendor, who in fact knew WAY more than them

They usually do
Media agency here, we took a risk and brought the vendor in for a presentation to a client on a particularly complex buy. Client was highly engaged, asking good questions and the vendor sharing his screen starts getting slack messages from his coworker about how annoying the questions are and how stupid our client was. Some pretty graphic emojis accompanied.
Never share your whole screen, kids. Just share the window, c'mon.
And if you're on Google Meet, just share the tab
I once took an amusing screenshot of our confused client’s face and our pissed off ECDs reaction. Forgot that I still had them on my desktop when I shared screen.
We were briefing vendors, one of them was an attractive woman. My dipshit partner at the time was sharing his screen as I walked them through the deck. As we finished the preso, he forgot he was sharing his screen and started stalking the attractive woman on IG and FB. It was absolute cringe—we stopped being partners short after.
Can we talk about the people who are watching porn on their WORK laptops?
Coworker was filling out a job app and lying on it.
Our entire leadership team had a demo call with a CRM vendor on a Friday afternoon. The two people presenting and trying to sell us on their system had their chat pulled up while screen sharing and were going back and forth about how lame it was that they were doing this on a Friday afternoon. Our Vice President told them we could all see their chat and that she felt the same way, so we would let them go enjoy their weekend and find a different solution.
Equally horrific, I was on an email thread where someone accidentally forwarded the wrong email. It was supposed to be internal for a committee about a project, but got sent to the approving entity and a guy on the committee had referenced the approver as being “a few French fries short of a happy meal.” Instead of doing the meeting virtually, she replied that she’d see us all in-person shortly and we had to present in person after that. 😳
opened my personal email to allow sharing access to a google drive file, and all my coworkers saw a new email popup that two new people subscribed to my onlyfans
i jokingly said if i was paid better i wouldn’t have to be doing that in the first place and it got some laughs but truthfully there is no joke about it. gotta pay rent somehow
also very shortly after that i got a new subscriber that im almost positive is a coworker. but hey, at this point, fuck it

back in university, I had a professor present a slideshow from his computer and he had three xvideos tabs open in the same window 🚨🚨🚨
This was years ago, but someone was sharing their screen and had their chat up asking why I was such a fucking bitch. The argument? Jibe vs jive in an email.
We had a vendor accidentally, while looking for another tab with image references, show us the pornhub home page. It was a mostly female team and he was so embarrassed and apologetic. Always close your personal tabs, friends.

I was presenting stuff to my ECD and CCO they started talking about something else so I went down to finish my vacation reservations. Forgot that I was still sharing.
I only realized I was sharing the whole time when I actually went asking for the days to my boss and he said “you know you should do this before booking the trip right?”
Haha
Like twelve years ago I worked at a ten person agency and my boss hooked his laptop into a tv in our office to review a pitch deck and one of his open tabs was red tube and another one was youporn.
