Thanks to MaryMary I remembered a story my friend told me. Her SO is a teachers aide and they are still in online learning so the friend's SO is going from "class to class" observing. One of the teachers asked the kids to take out a piece of paper so they could draw. One kid said he had to leave his computer to get paper. He returned an hour later  with no paper!

DS was Zooming when I hear the teacher say "insert_child's_name, please watch where you put your iPad camera especially if you aren't going to wear pants." {the kids are 1st grade for reference}
That would've been funny on it's own.
However, at the end of the Zoom, there's a minute or two before time is up and she asks if anyone has a joke.
DS: Knock, Knock
Teacher: Who's there?
DS: Icy.
Teacher: Icy, who?
DS: Icy your underwear!
The teacher and I died.

I said this on another thread, but I got frustrated setting up my laptop for a zoom meeting. When it wanted me to put my first and last name for my gmail account I chose nunya business. That's what came up the first time we met with the speech therapy aide.
My son routinely tells people to go away please on his Ipad and tries to close my laptop.

Towards the end of a Zoom meeting a few younger siblings and two dogs entered the view. The student looked back, and I looked back over his shoulder just in time to see two dogs about to have fun. He quickly got in front of the entire screen. Glad he realized what was happening.

My 22 yr old DD has a ballet class at a state college. It’s a big class, all ages, all types. Of course it’s via Zoom.
One afternoon I can hear her laughing hysterically. She showed me her Zoom screen...at first I didn’t understand what was happening. Then I realized one of the students was at the barbershop. He was getting a haircut and his beard trimmed.

I teach distance learning. When we were in Zoom I asked my students to turn on the cameras for a check in. One of my student was masked up getting highlights in her hair. I teach 5th grade and really was just happy to have everyone there.

DS teacher was Zooming along, when suddenly everyone had to cover their ears because of a super loud dog barking like crazy. Apparently Mrs. First Grade Teacher had a UPS delivery...
Also, whenever one of the kids unmute to answer a question you can hear the beep of a smoke detector. It's needed a new battery for weeks now.
My 8th grader has history and English after lunch, every class starts with the teacher telling everyone what he had for lunch... and asking anyone who is chewing on camera what they are eating.

... and asking anyone who is chewing on camera what they are eating. I would love to try this in our work Zoom meeting. We have a co-worker who is always eating during our Zoom meeting, but never when we were working in person!

I had a parent pop on Zoom comments to tell me their internet was spotty and they kept getting dropped. I then watched the student in the car, not doing her work, and then shopping at Target.

Our nephew and his friend got caught on the golf course during a Zoom class. My DH was so proud!
