Peep who starts a meeting early, and 4 minutes later says "oh good, I see everyone else decided to join us today" as they trickle in

Thanks rear end in a top hat, you're lucky my previous meeting ended slightly early

lol this was me except it was a piece of artwork with a glass frame behind me, a PM messaged me and said "we can see you shopping for cars".

So it me: people casually shopping for cool JDM cars during a boring meeting

It’s this cool visualization of the Atari 2600 game Adventure with all the gotos marked out as lines and the graphics as orange blocks, you can see the area of memory where he put “created by Warren robinette” as an Easter egg. Whoever made them had a few others but I haven’t been able to find it online, I’ve had it for over a decade.

So anyway I could blur my background but I have some cool art I want to show off, but sometimes it does betray me :(

people keep commenting on the picture on the wall behind me because first I changed it twice because I was moving stuff around and now it's this one that always looks wonky and I have to keep saying "I used a spirit level and it's fine I don't know what the gently caress"

I'm gonna change it and the cycle will then begin again

yep. and my monitor, and the webcam on top of it. I think it's because the picture has a black frame and a black line at an angle so your eye always sees it as off.

that or the washing machine in the room below is continuously vibrating it out of place

i think ms fixed this but you used to get like 20 notifications of the same meeting starting when Alice would join early, sees the empty room, leaves again, meanwhile Bob sees “Alice started meeting”, joins, sees the empty room, leaves again, meanwhile Charlie sees “Bob started meeting”, joins, sees the empty room, leaves again, meanwhile Dina sees “Charlie started meeting” etc etc

eh, i think that is basically a sensible feature. if the meeting hasn't started when you tune in you can immediately leave, and teams tosses you a notification that it did indeed start, just late. as opposed to hanging around for 10 minutes wondering.

this happens to me some and it's infuriating because then when I unmute on the physical headset teams inevitably muted itself

yes, if your job is taking calls all day for people who arent your coworkers, it's fine. if you have some sort of comedy headset (your david clark or w/e qualifies) it's fine. but if youre like a javascript dev and you're wearing a boom mic headset, woof, lol.
