April Fools pranks are a way to get everyone laughing

If you wish to play some humorous pranks on your office colleagues, here are a few pranks
Take a screenshot of their desktop, hide all icons and the taskbar, then set the screenshot as their wallpaper so they’ll keep clicking without anything responding. Sit back and watch as they restart their computer in frustration, thinking it's frozen
Swap a few keys on their keyboard, like switching “M” and “N,” so every time they type, the letters come out wrong. If they aren’t tech-savvy, they’ll be confused why their messages suddenly look like gibberish
Tape a small piece of paper over the bottom of their mouse sensor, making it stop working completely. For extra fun, write "April Fools!" on the tape so they only see it after struggling for a while
Schedule a fake emergency meeting with an official-sounding title, then have everyone stay muted and act like they can’t hear the victim. Let them panic for a few minutes, thinking their mic is broken, before finally revealing the prank
Print out hundreds of copies of their most embarrassing old email, Slack message, or office meme and hide them in their desk, under their keyboard, inside their drawers, and even in their lunchbox. No matter how many they throw away, more will mysteriously appear
