Days after exposing the “reality of zoom calls,” Indian business tycoon Harsh Goenka has yet again come with an innovative method to break the monotony of meetings. Sharing a video on Twitter, he wrote that he had a solution for everyone who was bored from their zoom meetings like him. He asked them to take a virtual background of a video of themselves, put it on loop and go to sleep pr watch tv.

In the video that was originally posted by a user named Dani Beck, a bearded man could be seen attending video meetings. However, as the video progresses he could be seen slyly lying down with his virtual replica taking his position. The replica then seems to continue with the meeting with all his attention.

Netizens divided

Since shared, the businessman’s idea has captured everybody’s heart with the video being liked over 390 thousand times. Not only have they landed Goenka for his hilarious yet useful solution many have wondered if his employees do it too on him. Yet a user thought that being so attentive might make others sceptical. "The problem is that when the host sees u being so attentive, he will surely hurl a question or two to u and ask for a response,“ he wrote. While another user lauded the businessman writing, “Your employees are seriously very luck Sir to have a cool boss like you.:” Yer another user suggested, “You would have to wear the same clothes every time!"

Earlier this month, Goenka had shared a hilarious post about the ‘reality of zoom calls'. The usage of video conferencing applications like Google Meet, Zoom has boomed amid work from home and lockdown. However, much like Goenka’s post, the calls are often more about other things than the actual topic of discussion.

Posting a pie chart on Twitter, Goenka wrote that this is what actually happens in zoom meetings. The pie chart hilariously showed that while the actual meeting content makes only two per cent of the content, things like checking our one's neck or other's houses make up a majority of it. It also showed that the maximum part of the meeting is consumed by the relief of seeing other humans beings regretting not taking a shower.
