My thesis was about immune response in fish to parasites. One professor joined late and forgot to mute her mic and we got treated to this little gem:

"Shhhh. Mommy is learning about fish parasites, which is what you'll get if you don't stop peeing in the koi pond."

Lots of people in it. My cat was up on her desk trying to get attention and meowed this deep loud meow. Right into her mic. The call proceeded with every time my cat meowed her co-workers would be like "good point" or "haven't thought of that" or like "yeah that sounds right". My mother was so embarrassed but she couldn't get her to leave her alone.

40 Online Class Gems People Witnessed When Someone Forgot To Turn Off Their Camera Or Mic During one of the lectures, our cat came into the room and jumped into my lap. I proceeded to tell him how very cute he is and how much I love him, in the stupidly sweetest voice possible because he's the best boi.

Then, a full minute or two into me praising the cat, a message popped up from my classmate saying I'm unmuted. I had a mini spook and replied with "oh hahaha I was just talking to him" + a picture of the cat.

It was extra awkward because I walk around with a resting b***h face and barely talk to anyone when we're at uni, so my classmate later admitted that the only reason no one warned me sooner was because it didn't occur to them that the person with this sweet voice was me :/

40 Online Class Gems People Witnessed When Someone Forgot To Turn Off Their Camera Or Mic A boy accidentally forgot to turn his mic off and we heard how his mom literally verbally abuse him, then he looked at the camera and realized that the mic was on then he turned the camera and mic off. The next day he looked like he cried all day and his mom was behind the camera; I still feel bad for that kid

Edit: Guys guess what, my whole class were telling and spamming the principal to do something with the kid in the end the principal itself with the counselor have a huge speak with the mother and threatened that if she doesn't change they will call the police. She was scared as heck and was decided to change bc his dad did love him; the last day I saw him (the day I am editing this) was happy and like he was in the first day again, thought I couldn't speak to him is clearly that at least something was changed and his father is in him side.

40 Online Class Gems People Witnessed When Someone Forgot To Turn Off Their Camera Or Mic During my English class, this one girl forgot to mute herself. While my teacher was talking, she almost deafened all of us on the Zoom call answering her mother's questions.

Her mother (from a distance): "What class are you in?"

Her (yelling): English!

Her mother: Oh, the hot teacher?

Her: Yeah that guy

Now, even I'll admit my teacher is fairly attractive, but it does take it to another level when you get your own mother involved. Thankfully, our teacher is a chill guy and thought the whole thing was just kind of funny, and kind of just gave a general reminder to the class to keep mics muted. She didn't say anything for the rest of the class.

I did call her after school to talk and let her know I would keep her updated on how her son was doing in my class so that, hopefully, between the two of us, we could keep him out of trouble.

Early morning lecture, much earlier than I’d been used to getting up during the lockdown experience. Ended up slouched over on the couch listening with my eyes closed.

Suddenly get a message from one of my good friends also in the class saying I might want to mute my mic as I’d sort of half-fallen asleep and my heavy breathing/light snoring was coming through the microphone a little too loud.

I was absolutely mortified, can’t imagine it was exactly pleasing to the ears for anyone in the class at the time.

It was next-level helicoptering, right on the edge of abuse in my opinion.

Our school has a good counselor and the student is getting help. All the teachers have been advised to limit contact with the mother and not make waves, lest she withdraw the student or redouble her controlling behavior. I worry about it.

Maybe the school could send out a group message to all of the parents about the importance of allowing the students to attend their classes alone. They could say that this will instill competence and a strong work ethic in their kids and the teachers will know if there are any issues to be addressed and inform the parents at that point.

We had a student in my class that was logged in on a smartphone, using an anonymous login, who never muted their mic once. They were outside, or near a window, every time. When their mic picked up a sound, it would maximize their blank screen, minimizing the teachers lesson which was on a whiteboard. It happened a lot. The teacher didnt know who it was and despite all of us begging them to mute, they never responded or did so and the teacher wasnt able to mute or boot them. The worst part is, since they were connected anonymously they never even got recorded as attending the lectures and failed for that reason alone.

If the person running the session is aware of it, then they can usually forcibly mute someone. I've had to do this and then it gets really awkward when they need to speak, as on the system we use, you can't forcibly unmute someone!

Guy Divorced 3 Years Ago Drops Off 3 Y.O. With His Ex-Wife Completely Out Of The Blue

40 Online Class Gems People Witnessed When Someone Forgot To Turn Off Their Camera Or Mic My teacher got scolded by his wife (another teacher in school) because she needed to work and he didn't repair her computer. He was a computer technology teacher and he just keep saying "Sorry honey, I forgot. I won't do it again. I promise it will take two seconds to fix it." in loop because the wife went on a little rant of how he always forgot things. When he saw the mic was still on he blushed and after a moment of silence just went on with the lesson.

The president of the uni I attended (until 2007) was presenting something with a bunch of other important people. This was being recorded for later upload and right when the pandemic was starting, around March 2020.

His wife appears in the middle of the talk mad as hell telling him to go clean the toilet and that she's not her slave to clean his s**t. A few very awkward seconds later he just says "maybe we have to edit this out later".

Now imagine how viral this must have been: I haven't had any ties to the uni since 2007 yet somehow the video got to my whatsapp.

College Student Does Exactly As Told After Roommates Demand They Keep Their Stuff In Their Room

#44

College student here! This was last semester so it was when we had first switched to all online. I had an 8 am class that was Renaissance through Modern art history. Anyway this kid in the class didn’t have his mic muted and he was snoring. Like snoring snoring. My poor professor tried to wake him up, and couldn’t. She also had no idea how to mute him or kick him out so we went on with the lecture. After about 5 minutes she finally said “I can’t f*****g teach to this” and ended the zoom meeting.

The rest of the semester we used voice thread instead.

This happens even when I am muted-it's a rule that our cameras are on, and they could see if I'm smiling.

40 Online Class Gems People Witnessed When Someone Forgot To Turn Off Their Camera Or Mic A student in my class forgot to turn off their mic, and we heard some background noises (doors closing,tapping...) and because of a display bug, we couldn't see where the noise was from.

Then the student started saying crap about the teacher, "oh, yeah this is useless, he's just writing on a tablet, even I could do that, etc."

Everyone heard that, the teacher heard them just insult him. They didn't come back to the classes after that.

I wasn't the one on class, but my brother. He was in class while I made lunch, but it was my first time making rice on my own. So I asked him if he could go and see if it's done, he didn't hear me, so i screamed at him the same question

He then turned to face me, and screamed "WHAT?!" "IT'S NOT DONE. WAIT A MIN", and when he looked back at his class, he's teacher was telling him to turn down the mic, he almost got an eardrum popped.

not really turn off the mic but you know that feature of pressing the spacebar to talk? well someone in my class was too used to pressing the spacebar to pause a video and mistakenly pressed it to "pause" the class to speak to someone in their home but would instead say nonsense while the teacher was speaking,this happened several times btw

Having started as a content creator that made articles for Bored Panda from scratch I climbed my way up to being and editor and then had team lead responsibilities added as well. So it was a pretty natural transition from writing articles and titles as well as preparing the visual part for the articles to making sure others are doing those same tasks as I did before well, answering their questions and guiding them when needed. Eventually I realized editing gives me the most enjoyment and I'm focusing only on that right now.

My school's technology went down while teaching a high school biology class virtually. I always have issues with technology. Pissed off at this ongoing problem, I said some very choice inappropriate words about computers to my blank screen. Several students contacted me by text through the school's proxy site to tell me the mic was still on. (Thankfully they thought it was funny; I was mortified.)

i had a teacher a couple years ago who would randomly unmute her students throughout the class. like, she didn’t want us to talk or answer a question, she just unmuted us (??). when we confronted her about it, she said she could do whatever she wants cause it’s her classroom. i had to double check my mike was muted every time i needed to say something and it was so annoying, i’m shocked nothing awkward happened but it was super invasive

My fiancée works in a secondary school as the lead science technician. During the pandemic, she had to go in to perform some experiments online so that the students would be able to ask questions during the experiments. She rang me after a lesson with tears but very happy because she heard some students say "Awesome! It's Miss *****!" She also used to be a professional singer and on one occasion she was singing Summer of 69 when the students started joining in. It made her smile so much when she told me about it. Final one... Embarrassing for me. I saw she was in a meeting so I crawled pass behind her only for her to say "The camera is off and so is the mic"

My default is camera on, mic muted. It was lunch time and so I got a salad. I turned off my camera so I could eat discretely. Except, nope, I had unmuted my mic and was giving everyone the fully immersive salad eating experience.

I am familiar with GoTo meeting because my company uses it. As a presenter, I can mute a participant to avoid incidences like these. Surely other online meeting softwares have similar function too. Use it.

I constantly do the opposite and forget to turn the mic ON, so it's like a silent movie when I'm trying to do a presentation. Also that time I was on a call with a new client, sound was terrible so I got up to pick up my headphones so I was fully visible on video. I was wearing a very professional white shirt, and Hello Kitty pj pants.

thankfully, i am an old fart and retired so i didn't have to deal with this. however, i do remember when our office all got upgraded to the computer world and we had access to emails for the first time. it was like the precursor to zoom calls. so many people got their a**e handed to them for sending out emails criticizing, bitching, moaning to the wrong person or to everyone. the best was when the boss' pet workers were gossiping about the boss & how they were playing her for better perks/cases, etc. and it was sent county wide.

Worst I had was I scrolled passed a video on Reddit while in a presentation with about 80 people and forgot my sound was on, so it started playing quite loud before I could mute it. Since I didn't mute zoom itself, no one knew where the sound had come from.

One Spanish class in 8th, we were supposed to put a small project we'd done on a "board" and then discuss them. One girl who hadn't done it muted her mic and told her sister(who was sitting right there) to talk about hers so the teacher would assume she did it. Again, girl A's mic was muted, but her sisters wasn't, so the whole class and the teacher heard her say it. Good times
