40 People Reveal The Horrifying And Hilarious Things They've Heard And Witnessed After Someone Forgot To Turn Off Their Camera Or Mic

Holy crap! What you're about to read, although it didn't happen to you, will leave you mortified!

See, a couple of years ago, online classes and meetings on Zoom, Teams, Skype, and other platforms weren't as regular as they are today. Although Zoom was created in 2011, it wasn't until two years ago that it gained popularity.

Participating in group meetings and classes became possible thanks to technology. A majority of people were forced to work or study online, and since we were still familiarizing ourselves with virtual spaces, we made mistakes.

Many times.

That said, there's nothing better than attending a meeting in your shorts or a class in your PJs, right? It wasn't long before people realized the perks of virtual spaces.

They could work and study from the comfort of their bed or even their bathroom! However, it's never a good idea to get too comfortable in virtual spaces.

It can be dangerous, especially if you don't know how to use technology. Don't even get us started on screen-sharing!

A lot of people think they've muted themselves or turned off the camera, only to realize that the cat is out of the bag. Other times, people mute themselves and forget to unmute before talking or giving a speech.

The mute button is a human's archenemy, and it is responsible for so much embarrassment, insults, and vulgarity—it's crazy!
