In the post-covid era, Zoom has become a blockbuster platform. Prior to the pandemic, virtual meetings were unknown to business leaders and managers. But as travel restrictions limited us, the physical operation of businesses was closed, and employees were made to work remotely. At this point, professionals felt the need for a platform where they could conduct business meetings.
They ended up finding Zoom, a giant platform for virtual meetings, as a reliable platform. Since then, Zoom has been in the limelight. Professionals from all walks of life have been flocking to Zoom to conduct video calls and virtual business meetings. Now, in the post-covid world, Zoom is still a top-notch platform for business meetings and group video calls.

Fool Your Coworkers With Custom Backgrounds

So, you will make the participants see that you are physically on a remote island. Or, you are sitting on a beach somewhere in French Riveria. That is right! Zoom offers custom backgrounds. This means you can opt for any location in the world and troll your friends.
Thus, all this can be done while sitting on your desk or literally anywhere in your home.
Unmute Yourself & Pretend You are Talking
This is another simple and classy one. Unmute yourself and make mouth gestures. Make the participants feel you are talking to them, but you are muted.
To add spice to the troll, make bizarre shapes of your mouth and body language. It will make the participants yell at you: “Hey! Unmute yourself!” Later on, reveal that you are already unmuted, but you were messing with them.
