Hilarious Zoom Meeting Fails

Zoom background fail

Gone are the days of being able to rummage through the fridge in a bathrobe while you take a meeting from your cellphone. Zoom and other video conference meetings became the norm during the work-from-home era, and now they're here to stay.

These are the worst Zoom fails, and they will have you in stitches.
