Video conference calls have become the new normal for businesses that have moved online during the lockdown.

This has produced some inevitable embarrassing moments – this is a gentle reminder not to be like Jennifer. 

People are also finding creative ways to make things more interesting, especially on Zoom.

Over to ForTheWin:

When it comes to those video conferencing, Google Hangouts and Zoom seem to be among the most popular.

Thanks for that @StevenRayMorris.

If you’d like that Klingon translation, here it is:

That’s a ‘yo mama’ joke for you to bring out next time you’re at a party.

It’s guaranteed to clear the room.
