In this brief video, the speaker shares a cautionary anecdote about a common Zoom etiquette mistake: taking a laptop into the bathroom during a meeting. They explain that when users step away, they often toggle the video off, but sometimes the video remains on, unintentionally broadcasting their bathroom visit. The speaker cites two incidents that occurred within their own company, emphasizing the embarrassment and professionalism risk. The key takeaway is a simple rule—keep your laptop out of the bathroom while on a Zoom call to avoid accidental exposure.

Never do this on a Zoom call if your boss is on and watching. One of the cardinal mistakes I've seen made twice is that somebody says, "Be right back, someone's at the door, be right back, something," and then they go. What they do is they take their camera or they take their laptop into the bathroom with them. What they don't know is they accidentally press the video off, video on thing, and so then the video is on and you can see them going to the bathroom. And that's happened twice in our company. So you always want to make sure that you leave your laptop out of the bathroom when you go during Zoom calls.
