I joined a webinar at work today with about 50 other people. Normally when you join as just a viewer, you're automatically muted in my experience. Someone came in the room and I didn't hear them open the door but looked behind me it scared the shit out of me so I yelled "fucking hell!" in shock and continued going on about how I didn't hear them etc... And was promptly muted by the host.
It was an educational training video on something pretty serious so I felt so bad. I apologised in the chat saying I didn't realise I wasn't on mute. I didn't know anyone else on the call but they all work for the same company so I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse.
TLDR; Assumed I was muted on a zoom call, yelled profanities, was swiftly muted.

Number 1 rule for any virtual meetings: always double check you’re on mute. That’s a beginner mistake you only make once
