Crying babies and loud construction – those are only two of the audio options available on a new web widget called Zoom Escaper. If you’ve had enough of your Zoom meeting or want an excuse to log off early, the tool can help by playing fake audio effects that are so irritating during a call, the other people in it will want you to sign off.
Barking dogs, wind and even a bad connection are other choices readily available for those seeking it. Even better, they can all be played together, so you could even have the annoying combination of a crying baby and loud construction going on in the background all at once.

Are you looking for a way out of those Zoom meetings that are taking your valuable television time away while you “work” from home? We’d like to introduce you to
. It’s a new web tool that’ll allow you to “self-sabotage” your Zoom audio stream, theoretically making you “unbearable” to keep around in the meeting. Once activated, you’ll be able to interrupt things with an echo, a bad connection, a crying baby, an upset man, wind, dogs, construction, or urination noise.
Don’t blame us if you get fired, though.

Are you absolutely tired of spending hours each week on Zoom calls? Do you wish for some sort of way to cause enough acceptable chaos to bring them to a swift end? If so, this website is the answer to your problem. The Zoom Escaper lets you add weird and downright awkward noises to your video calls in hopes of ending your endless meetings.
The website, which we learned about at Design Taxi, is the brainchild of artist Sam Lavigne. Users can pick from an array of sounds including a crying baby, construction, and the ever-annoying echo. You can go back and forth between noises and crank up the volume for extra emphasis. And maybe, just maybe, they will be terrible enough to set you free from Zoom. There is an app for the Zoom Escaper but it’s not a requirement to use it. The only thing you will need to do is install the VB-Audio plugin on your computer to put the sound effects into your meeting.
