Zoom awkwardness is here to stay.

Video conferencing with friends and coworkers may have been a novelty at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, but it is now a daily part of people’s lives months later.

The “Zoom fatigue” of relying on screen-only social interactions has sunk in. More people realize a Zoom party is not actually a party and that talking to your bosses, friends and colleagues through virtual boxes is funny and strange.

Here are some of the funniest tweets summing up the socially awkward new habits we’ve picked up and noticed on video conference calls.

have grown to love the tension that arises on a zoom call when a single unaware person has noise happening in their background & everyone knows who it is but everyone is also waiting for it to stop on its own so that no one has to do the "...did everyone silence their mic?" thing

One HUGE downside of Zoom I have not heard appropriately acknowledged is that there is no way to exchange covert glances with one other person about the nonsense some other person is spouting and that is like 50% of how I communicate.

I love Zoom meetings! Because they are online, we don’t have to allow time to get from one meeting to the next! We can just have meeting after meeting after meeting!

Gonna update my CV to say "survived 1000 Zoom calls that should've been an email" as part of my achievements in 2020.

the only good thing about zoom calls is when a dog barks and everyone makes them show the dog, so now you get to see a dog
