They also heard me say something pretty embarrassing under my breath. What do I do, I won't be able to look them in the eye ever again.

    No one will remember.

    One time during a call I said, fairly loudly, "oh my God, these fucking people" when someone was getting away with the same stupid fuck up for like the 1000th time, and I wasn't muted (headset mic was, but the laptop mic was not for some reason). No one really knew who it was in the moment since there were like 20 people on the call with no video, some people figured out it was me and busted my balls for it for a couple of days, but I never heard anything after that and management never said anything.

    From that point on I have treated webex calls like gun safety, you are never muted even when you are.

      I always mute the call AND the mic. A hundred "oops, muted" is worth one "oops, told my wife my coworker is a dumb shit"
