i don't know why the camera is such a mystery to people

imo it's just a fat finger. usually it's "peep who's trying to call into the meeting from the lab in gloves, and modern phones don't have any sort of bezel so it's easy to accidentally tap the row of buttons at the bottom of the screen, one of which is video"

that one's not me, but "guy who's working in the lab while called into a meeting, uttering a constant stream of expletives under his breath for several minutes while wrestling machinery, and only then notices that he's unmuted", well, no comment.

now that i think about it, one time i dropped my phone, caught it, but in so doing, my thumb grazed the camera button so i probably looked real stupid (more than usual) for the two seconds it took to turn it back off

No love for your made-up things.
I was in a labor meeting and the rear end in a top hat from management was in the call with camera on and shirt off. Like I work at a swimming pool and I still put on a shirt for meetings.
