    So this happened to me today (we'll see if it's a bit too juvenile for this forum or not).

    This morning, I was feeling a little bit of familiar pressure in the lower part of my body, so as I was in a meeting, I muted myself and expelled some gasses at great volume. It wasn't until I saw the faces of my coworkers that I noticed that I had accidentally muted my speaker, not my microphone!!!
    I do not know what was said in this 10 second period, but it was a rather embarrassing moment!

    Any stories that happened to anyone else to myself feel better?

    Lol, you'll have a lifelong reputation now and gifted them a story to pass down to their kids:D.

    Best advice is to quit and join another unsuspecting, non-judgemental company.

    Alternatively, if the call was recorded:
    1. make it go viral
    2. monetise

    Hope that makes you feel better.

    Don't feel embarrassed. I was meeting with a senior person of another organsation. She (mature middle age lady, a bit overweight) was video meeting with us. She was in a room with a wall mirror. Dress well for the upper but was wearing a loose cute pajamas pants, with Disney characters all over. She needed to rise up and get some document and the mirror reflected it. It was an ever lasting small talk for a while... :D

    Meh, you need to try harder. Anything less than full frontal nudity and it's still Zoom amature hour.

    This has absolutely made my day. I think you should do this every meeting now to normalise it. Encourage others to join in and form an orchestra.
