My client's live webinar got hijacked by a cat filter
We were running a big webinar for a tech client last Tuesday, with about 500 people signed up. I was in our office in Phoenix, watching the stream, when the presenter's face suddenly turned into a cartoon cat. He kept talking about B2B lead gen for a full two minutes before he noticed. I had to jump on the chat and tell him to restart his camera. The whole thing was a mess, but the chat actually went wild with people saying it was the best part. Anyone else had a tech fail turn into an unexpected win?

Our Phoenix office keeps a backup USB webcam for exactly that.

My cousin's Zoom wedding last year had a similar vibe. The officiant's audio cut out completely right at the vows, so for a solid minute it was just this silent, emotional lip-syncing. Everyone in the little squares was crying and laughing at the same time. It somehow made the whole thing feel more real and human, you know? Those unplanned moments are what people actually remember.
