One horror story is when someone's pet suddenly made a lot of noise during an important Zoom call. The cat jumped on the keyboard and started walking all over it, causing the person to accidentally mute and unmute themselves repeatedly while trying to shoo the cat away. It was really embarrassing as they were in a serious work meeting.
Technical glitches are common. Like I said before, bad internet leading to frozen videos and choppy audio can be really horrifying. Another is the accidental unmute situation where people say things they don't want others to hear. It can range from personal comments to negative remarks about work or the people on the call.
One horror story is when someone's pet suddenly started making a huge racket in the background during an important work Zoom meeting. The person was trying to mute but accidentally unmuted themselves instead, and the dog barking and cat meowing became the center of attention for a very awkward few minutes.
One Zoom horror story is about a person who thought they were alone in a meeting but suddenly saw a strange face in the background that wasn't supposed to be there. It was really creepy.
There was a time in a zoom class where the teacher's connection was really bad. The video kept freezing and the audio was choppy. So, students couldn't understand what was being taught. They just saw the teacher's frozen face for most of the class. It was a total mess and a waste of time for everyone involved.
Technical issues are common. Like bad connections that make voices echo or videos freeze at the wrong moment. For example, someone might be presenting something important and their video goes all pixelated.
Another common type is the accidental unmute or camera on situation. Students might be in a compromising or embarrassing situation at home and suddenly their camera turns on or they are unmuted without realizing. It can be really awkward. For instance, a student might be in their pajamas with a messy room in the background when their camera comes on.
I've heard of a Zoom horror story where someone joined a call and there was a voice that no one else could hear coming from their device. It was like a whispering voice that was saying things that made no sense.
One of the best zoom stories could be about a virtual birthday party. People from all over the world joined in, there were fun virtual backgrounds, and everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' together. It was a great way to celebrate despite the distance.
