I'm the guy who declines the meeting. Hopefully nobody said that yet.

I'm that guy. Camera is always on unless there's a reason to turn it off.

I like people to know whether or not I'm paying attention to them.

I appreciate this.

I turn on my camera to own all the people who have to look at me.

Guy who joined the meeting by phone today

We require duo every 7 days (:negative:) so at least once a a week there's someone who got duo'ed right before the meeting and doesn't want to deal with it so they dial in. It's painful.

Sometimes if I wanna spice things up I join the meeting early, wait 10 seconds, then leave. This makes a bunch of tryhards also join early and then when I join on time I'm not the first one.

guy who hopes no one realizes he's joining the meeting 10 minutes late but for some reason it already finished or was canceled and he makes a big fat "XXX started the meeting" notification show up for everybody

lol I love when this happens (to other people)

guy who replaced his microphone with a dave chappelle soundboard

My coworker and I did this in 2006, specifically with the lil jon soundboard. Of course this was before virtual meetings were all the rage but thankfully we were cubicle-mates so we just talked to each other this way.

"Hey nevergirls can you send me that pdf?"
"whaaaaaat!"
"The pdf with the latest figures on it!"
"Okaaaaaay!"

Everyone loved us.

I'm thankful I don't work somewhere where your Teams status has to stay green when you're not in a meeting. That seems hella abusive.

Person who starts talking, and then when told to go ahead, they say "sorry, I was just going to say" and then say the thing.

SO YOU'RE NOT REALLY SORRY YOU DUMBO

good guy/gal; most meetings spend way too long on goodbyes

I actually don't mind meetings that spend too long on goodbyes because it's an opportunity for me to socialize with my coworkers (which I enjoy doing) but it's at the end of the meeting so anyone who is not interested can just mute/minimize the meeting and do whatever they need to do - unlike taking too long saying "hi" which I also enjoy but recognize that all the misanthropes hate.

Guy who's always sniping threads during a meeting

At my old job I would say a secret word in the middle of a recorded meeting and told anyone who asked about a recording that I’d give them a dollar if they told me what the word was. I did this for about three years and one person actually got a dollar from me. My boss hated this schtick but I hated recording my meetings so it was important to irritate her so she’d see it my way.

Type of peep at meetings: me, see above.

the type of peep who has literally nothing to contribute but will jump in and snipe a thread for no reason

I was screen sharing with someone last week and only after about 3 minutes of talking realized that `Taylor.Swift.The.Eras.Tour.2023.EXTENDED.1080p.WEBRip.x265.10bit.5.1-LAMA.torrent` was visible in my downloads list. Awkward.
