> If you're going to the restroom and will be AFK, you can join the restroom channel. You're in, but away. No one is actually wearing a headset on the toilet, it's just a fun way to feel like a real office.
Interesting, I would never have expected anyone to feel the need of recreating this particular piece of office life in a remote setting.
I don't think it's that terrible. The little jokes lighten the mood, and make it feel more real and in-person. Online meetings have a tendency towards formalism in my experience
I've realized that extroverts are really, really damaged by the remote work setting. The word "fun" gets thrown around a lot but to me the reason remote is so great is because I don't have to play make-believe with my coworkers.
That being said this suggestion is hilarious. I would imagine people are auto-muted in the restroom channel so it seems like the ideal place to sit yourself if you're required in zoom all day. It's totally valid. I often get my best thinking done in the bathroom.
