ROANOKE, Va. – Many of us are using online video platforms to host meetings, but there are some unintended consequences.
Like one manager that was turned into a peanut.
Sarah Baker was holding a meeting on Teams and wanted to do something fun for her Roanoke Valley coworkers. Someone told her about a filter program that could add fun filters to your image, like on Instagram and Facebook.
“I thought it would be fun to jazz up a meeting with a cute filter — maybe rosy cheeks or long eyelashes? But the first meeting we held it got stuck on the peanut and I couldn’t get it off. I had to deliver my message as a peanut,” said Baker.
She had to do the whole meeting as a peanut and says she’s heard of other managers having the same issue.
“It was with 3 employees, and they all found it super funny. They said it was just the comedic relief they needed,” said Baker.
