Half of my job since coronavirus started has been just sitting in on pointless Zoom meetings. Now I have to spend the next hour sitting in on yet another pointless Zoom meeting, but this time I'm supposed to be happy about it because our President will be wearing a Santa hat. I am so sick of fake smiling for this camera.
Set up a loopback device on your computer and feed Zoom a 10 minute loop of you smiling, blinking, and maybe occasionally chuckling, and then go do mild drugs.
Now here's a plan. I've already realized I can launch fake Zoom meetings and trick Microsoft Teams into not reporting that I'm AFK - combined with your technique, I'd be unstoppable.
