During the quarantine period, most people worked remotely. Zoom was the name of the software most commonly used for meetings and schooling with everyone at different locations. This guy made a funny video about pretending his internet connection wasn't working. Of course, his technique wouldn't exactly work, but it's still funny to watch. The creator is Zach King who is a magician. You can check out his YouTube channel if you want.
