Before you start a Zoom meeting, you might want to make sure your face filters have been turned off. On Tuesday, a lawyer in Texas learned this lesson the hard way when he accidentally appeared as a cat during a live court session.
A face filter on Zoom rendered the lawyer, Rod Ponton, as a sad kitty during the hearing for the 394th Judicial District Court in Texas. Video of the incident is now circulating on social media.
“Mr. Ponton, I believe you have a filter turned on in the video settings,” Judge Roy Ferguson says during the proceeding.
