Video calling apps like Zoom and Houseparty have become the saviours of communication but there are plenty of people out there who just shouldn't be introduced to new technology. Especially when it sees and hears everything.
We've put together a list of our favourite fails that have emerged on social media over the last week so sit back and laugh at other people's misfortunes.

Your boss doesn't want to attend cocktail hour with your fam
We can't speak for all bosses but this probably isn't advised.
I made my first Zoom FAIL. I accidentally invited one of our founders to my family's cocktail hour last night. LOL we all had a good laugh but oops! #zoomfail ??

Don't complain- they can hear you
Yes the meeting is dragging on but just make sure you're on mute before complaining.

Me thinking my mic is off: “why is she still talking I thought this was over”
My teacher: “friend you might wanna mute yourself”
