With back to school season coming up, students are getting used to the new culture of online lectures and remote learning. Here are some relatable parts of the Zoom experience!
1. Reading the room to see if other people have their cameras on
2. “Can you hear me?”
There will always be some type of audio issue, so make sure to test your speaker and microphone!
3. The echoey feedback when someone forgets to mute
Or when you can hear parents, pets, and sirens in the background.
4. When someone screenshares and they forgot to close their other tabs
Getting a glimpse of others' email inboxes can be a bit awkward.
5. The chat is either thriving or silent
Make sure to send your chats to the right person, too.
6. Googling if other people can see if you’ve pinned their video
(They can't.)
7. Fun backgrounds
The latest green screen technology has never been more accessible.
8. Wearing pajama pants on the bottom
The duality of business casual and comfortable sleepwear should be the next fashion trend!
9. Checking out everyone’s house decor
Huh. Professor Smith has some nice wallpaper.
10. Staring at yourself the whole time
And finding your best angle, of course.
11. When someone leaves and everyone gets the notification
"Sorry, my WiFi cut out."
12. The pause when you enter a breakout room
Everyone's on mute. Who will be the first to speak??! The tension is astounding!
13. Waving goodbye, leaving the room, and immediately leaving your computer
Zoom fatigue is real, so don't forget to rest your eyes after staring at a screen for a long lecture!
14. Setting up the Zoom links and passwords for your next class.
And get ready to do it all over again.
