Making the best use of their creative skills, people in quarantine are coming up with unique ideas to keep themselves and others entertained amid the coronavirus lockdown.
As more and more people work from home, official video conferences being interrupted with pets and family members walking into the room have become a norm but did you know one can walk in on themselves too?
Clone trick tickles the internet
In the short clip, the user can be seen sitting in front of his laptop and recording a video when suddenly he pops out accidentally from the door. Confused? How can a person who is sitting on the chair and recording suddenly appear from behind? The secret behind this lies in the video itself. The man tried to experiment with the Zoom app where he created his lookalike and made it look as if he is appearing in the room from behind.
