I want you and everyone else to know that sometimes on large zoom calls I will "pin" one person in the call and stare at them for multiple minutes in a row on fullscreen. I do this all the time.
I do this too. I usually cycle through a few people if multiple people have their camera on. I also take snips and draw mustaches/glasses/graffiti on them in paint during really boring meetings.
Something like this recently happened in one of my university classes. We had a remote class in the evening on Teams.
One of my buddies felt very tired so he thought he'll zone out for a bit and mute the call.
After he proceeded to mute the call he realized that he'd actually muted the teacher for the whole class. It was hilarious, especially when he told me after. :)
I'm in a regular large zoom call and I'm pretty sure a few participants get pinned more than the rest combined. The day Zoom accidentally reveals they've been building these stats should be entertaining.
Hah. I wouldn't say that it is creepy but I get a bit uneasy thinking about it. Ok so I judge people on what they have in their basket in the store. I am not a greater person.
