PSA: Check Your Zoom Settings

[ThePointblank]

A bit of humourous news, but please remember to check your Zoom settings before starting any important meetings!

 

Otherwise, you could end up in a unfortunate situation where you'll be in an important video conference, but thanks to a Zoom video filter, you'll be appearing as a talking cat, as one lawyer hilariously did during an virtual court hearing:

A lawyer in Texas became a viral sensation on Tuesday after accidentally activating a cat filter during a court hearing over Zoom.

 

Footage of the incident, which went viral on Twitter, shows attorney Rod Ponton struggling to deactivate the filter while appearing as a young feline.

 

Judge Roy B. Ferguson can be overheard attempting to help Ponton, to no avail.

 

“Mr. Ponton, I believe you have a filter turned on in your video settings,” Ferguson says.

 

In perhaps the best moment of the video, Ponton attempts to reassure the judge that he is in fact not a cat.

 

“I’ve got my assistant here, and she’s trying to remove it but uh… I’m prepared to go forward with it," Ponton says. "I’m here live. I’m not a cat.”

The actual video clip of the incident is here:

But talk about grace under pressure... I'm surprised no one else on the call was giggling their heads off...
