one of the other students didn't realize that they forgot to mute themselves after asking a question and started listening to radio disney while the instructor was away and we were working on a lab. got to listen to that for about 15 mins and the instructor came back and muted him

my coworker who lives 1500 miles from
me never mutes himself on any of our group calls and loves to hum to himself or react audibly to whatever he's reading instead of paying attention to the meeting

companies really need to invest in proper training on how to use web conference systems because 99% of the problems are user error but they'll never train because that costs money and gains are difficult to quantify so training is always left as a second-thought "nice to have" that never reeives adequae resources and then when effectiveness drops resources are cut even further and then effectiveness drops and then

sorry, what?

counterpoint: i would no longer be regarded as a computer god by my coworkers for things like 'uses keyboard shortcuts in excel'

our last training included things like how you shouldnt shut down your computer by holding down the power button
