Someone didn’t mute their mic. We can hear them eating, they took a phone call.

Why didn’t the host mute them? Usually my hosts keep everyone muted until its Q&A time.

They just unmuted the line and heard the toilet flush.

I have always been so cautious, because I can see how that would be such an easy mistake to make. It’s an even easier mistake to make when you don’t want to be on the call, and don’t plan on actually listening to what’s going on.

somewhat apocryphal, but back when laptops were first getting built in cameras WebEx would turn them on for meetings. supposedly caught people working from home off guard.

I got scared seeing myself on video working from home. So I stuck a piece of electrical tape over my camera.
