I was positive my camera was off on my Teams call but I was wrong – I’m worried my actions could get me fired

A WOMAN has revealed that she was positive her camera was turned off during a work call on Teams, but got the biggest shock of her life when her colleague asked her if there was a ‘problem’.

Siobhan, who is from Australia, recently experienced an awkward video call fail, after her colleague pointed out that her camera was indeed on.

Mortified at the error, Siobhan took to social media to share the blunder, leaving people totally stunned.

In the short video, we saw the blonde beauty eating a bag of Cheeto crisps whilst on a work call, as she explained: “When you were positive your camera was off on a Teams call…but you were wrong.” 

During the call, we saw Siobhan wearing a pair of headphones and a lanyard - and by her facial expressions, she clearly wasn’t interested in what her colleague had to say.

Although Siobhan didn’t record her colleague’s face, we could hear the woman say: “Thanks everyone for joining today, I know it’s super early but I just wanted to share our results from our last….”
