Be seated in a tuxedo when the webcam starts. Casually stand up after a couple of minutes and reveal your waist-down nakedness. Act as if nothing has happened, keep talking and interacting, remain calm.

Believe me. You wouldn’t be aroused if you saw her

I'm on an island here in ATL from the rest of my team, who are spread around the country. We don't always do it but it's always been nice when we have a video meeting to put faces to the voices. If you work from home, it's not like you have to get dressed up...just wear a t-shirt and you're golden. Not as comfortable as the official "WFH Robe" but not exactly like having to put on a suit.
why not IM her on the side? This post was edited on 2/13/20 at 8:36 pm

We were having another company demonstrate its software during a conference call one day. All of a sudden, a coworker pops on the screen while she is at home nursing her baby. It was just a few seconds until she realized it, but it was pretty funny.

Destroy your laptop camera.

Zoom is where it's at
We use zoom for all our internal meetings. It's great. You can tell who isn't paying attention and your team feels more integrated if you can feel like you're sitting across from them.
I'm also remote.

Funny story....I was waiting for a femalle colleague on zoom the other day, and she was a little late for it, so I was doing other stuff in a window in front of the zoom call. I figured I'd just hear her ding in and then switch over.
So I'm working, and at one point rip a pretty solid fart. I then look at my slack messages and see a note from her that says "can you hear me?" from a minute or two pre-fart. Well, I had my computer speakers all the way down so I didn't hear her ding in and start talking. Pretty much 100% certain she was able to experience my fart with me.

a big ol dump would have been better but that is pretty damned good

On a video conference from a work at home scenario I purposely farted when the boss was splainin something. I can’t remember what it was, I wasn’t really listening. But, he paused when he heard the fart and then continued. I muted my mic right afterwards so I could LOL.

Love the Zoom. Hate the WebEx.
Was on a meeting with a clients full staff about 6 months ago where their boss was presenting. One her staff ladies forgot to mute herself and let out a mumbled but audible “frick not this shite again.” I had to turn my camera off I was laughing so hard. Next time I visited that staff lady wasn’t there anymore, lol.
One key to multi tasking on camera is using 3 screens. Put your Zoom on one of the side screens that way your head is ALWAYS faced away from the laptop camera no matter if your side-tasking or paying attention. I’m on Zoom Calls at least 3-4 hours a day. Most days from the house.

What’s funny about WebEx?
As for the OP, probably half of the employees of the company I work for work remotely in a given day.
Our CEO requires all Zoom meeting participants to have cameras on at all times for internal meetings.

Lulu makes real comfortable collared shirts that are more comfortable than a T-shirt. Some of you people are pathetic. (Or can’t afford Lulu)
Throw that on for the WebEx.

This is solid advice. I will try this next time
