Virtual meetings are now a routine part of work life and so are the unexpected slip-ups that come with them. From leaving cameras on by mistake to forgetting to hit mute, these digital moments often lead to laugh-out-loud scenarios unless something really personal was leaked on screen.
A recent incident involving a snack, an unmuted mic, and a very observant manager is the latest to leave netizens in stitches.
The moment was shared on X by Dhimahi Jain, who recounted how she was caught red-handed — or rather, cookie-handed — during a work call.

Thinking her mic wouldn’t pick up the sound, she began munching on her favourite biscuits during the online meeting. But her mic did pick it up. Loud and clear.

Sharing a screenshot of the message, Dhimahi wrote, "Today, I couldn’t control myself and started snacking on my fav cookies during a work call, thinking mic mei kya hi awaaz aaegi... and this is how my manager reacted.”
