It's 18 months into the pandemic and by now many of us have experienced the excruciating awkwardness that comes with forgetting to put your microphone on mute during a virtual meeting.
Plenty of awkward moments have gone viral – from a woman who broadcast her toilet break during a schoolmeeting, to a lawyer who was caught having sex during a legal hearing.
But this one from US influencer Abbie Herbert has to be one of the funniest Zoom slip-ups we've seen.
"I forgot to mute in our important Zoom meeting," Abbie captioned the video, adding in the comments that "now everyone thinks I pooped my pants on our Zoom".

The hilarious video has had over 11 million views, as well as nearly 2000 comments from parents who could definitely relate.
"I wouldn't have believed you that it was your kid until I had my own three weeks ago … it does sound like that," one mum wrote.
"My son did that too," another person commented.
Others simply empathised with the fact that people would be convinced it was Abbie, not Poppy, who was responsible for the fart.
"Oh my gosh if your camera is off then they are going to think it's you," one person said.
"That's what you get for having your camera off," another joked.
