Its just bizarre? Why would anyone take the laptop with them to the bathroom? Even if he turned the camera off, he is still using the bathroom while in an active meeting. The whole thing is inappropriate, if he had to use the restroom, there is no reason why he couldn't have excused himself and come back.

I use the bathroom during active meetings all the time. I have 10 hrs straight of meetings with no breaks between. That's what the mute button is for.

Exactly my thought. It's too naive to say it was an "honest mistake".

I had a massive GI issue and was in the middle of a meeting. Took my laptop to the bathroom but made sure the camera and mic were off. I was just on to listen. If I was asked to talk I would have typed in chat citing tech difficulties. Otherwise I’m holding it..

I was in a deposition and had the stomach flu where I could not leave my bathroom for any extended period of time so I set my laptop on the floor with me. Camera and microphone off.
