I didn’t realize my mic was on during a zoom call

[Deleted member 11159]

Oh God, oh fuck I knew this would happen someday.
I had a college class and usually my mic is set to automatically be turned off from the start but today I had to use my dad’s computer and didn’t realise that it was turned on.
it was like that for 10 minutes and for a normal person this wouldn’t be a problem but I absolutely cannot sit through a boring lecture without at least making some kind of weird noise.

I always have to say stupid shit to myself or make noises or whatever to keep myself sane.
There’s no way I didn’t at least once say something like “kill all Jews” or “niggerfaggot” or autistic shit like that. There’s just no way I wouldn’t have said that for a whole 10 mins of watching a boring lecture on my screen. Sadly I can’t remember what I said though.

I was hoping to ascend in college but it looks like my life is basically over.
Is this an incel trait? Does anyone else do this? Is it a coping mechanism or something?
Fuckkkk

Do not be surprised to be kicked out or arrested if you live in a cucked land jfl

Doubt I would. It wasn’t recorded or anything. I might have basically committed social suicide though. I just can’t remember what I said though and it’s killing me.

I have to turn my mic on sometimes if i’m asked a question.

You were already socially murdered by your looks.

nah

If you have a friend, ask them if anything was audible.
If you get accused, claim you had a youtube video open on phone.
It is possible nobody found out that the words were from your side, even if they did.

You can turn the mic on and off in splitcam. It works well.

 

[mNFwTJ3wz9]

Also don't use the zoom app. Only use the browser version.

Sadly no friends there since I only really had a chance to talk to them online. And i’m sure it would’ve been clear it was my voice.
Whenever I say stupid shit to myself I often whisper so hopefully they weren’t able to understand. It’s a good computer with a good mic tho so the chances of that are low.

Why would I need it at all though? I don’t have anything to hide really. I put masking tape on the webcam though because I don’t the FBI agent looking at my dick.

I don't use a mic so that's not a trait to me. Sorry that happened to you. The things I say in the privacy of my room, I can't imagine if someone randomly heard me saying it.

Say you were on a call on discord with a friend, recording a vocaroo for a joke, etc.
Find a plausible excuse.

sad.

Why would I need it at all though? I don’t have anything to hide really. I put masking tape on the webcam though.

So here's how I use it -
If any browser / app needs a camera, it gets the splicam driver.
If I need the browser/app to access the actual camera/mic, I stream the camera/mic through splitcam.
When I close the app/browser I remove the camera from splicam, and I am 100% certain that nothing is accessing webcam.
The camera can also be cropped/resized to not show the entire FOV, and both the mic and camera access can be turned off mid zoom call. (Not possible in zoom)
It gives much more control. Seriously download it.

How to use the Zoom malware safely on Linux if you absolutely have to

Zoom is malware… if you have to run it, run it in its own prison. Update (8 Jul, 2020): I ended up doing my talk over our Vimeo Live account instead. You can watch the edited recording on our web site. We gave the folks in the Zoom meeting a link to my talk and they watched it there. I then...

Can you not just use zoom on browser?

 

[Deleted member 7448]

We had lectures on moodle. And I discovered a bug on this platform but it was too late. Apparently if you disconnected, it automatically reconnects but it unmutes you when it does that. Ffs pretty sure I talked shit about my professors and colleagues with my parents when that happened. Either that or I tend to mute/unmute the tab, so I'm pretty sure that I might've unmuted the mic instead of the tab once.

wtf, is this Mandela effect or something I swear to God, Zoom didn't have an online client just a few months ago, I know because I use MS Teams through my browser and I was looking for the same option for Zoom
thanks for the tip, I guess, I can just uninstall this shite now

 

[Deleted member 31122]

Just physically disconnect you mic theory or disable in sound control panel if it's a laptop

Also I was talking more about preventing accidental mic/video sharing than actual security concerns.
If I was on ubuntu, I'd probably use something like :

If they haven't told you anything yet they didn't notice or didn't care. If the lecture kept going on the teacher probably didn't hear you and since it's not recorded they can't prove it's you kek

i dont have a mic but god dam i hear these kinds of stories too often. coworker of mine got in some kind of trouble or disciplinary action last month. we were in a big meeting and she left her mic on while getting fucked by her boyfriend during work hours. all you could hear was thrusts & grunts. cheek slapping. couldn't even hear the speaker and boomers dont know how to mute anyone

closest thing a guy has done similar to that is fall asleep with his mic on and we all hear him snoring away.
im so happy to not have a mic or camera
