"Clone Machine" to easily sneak away from a Zoom meeting

David Pescovitz 11:31 am Thu May 14, 2020

This is easily done yourself, but it was smart of Coors Light (and their creative agency) to create a one-click "Clone Machine" that captures and loops 30 seconds of video of you smiling and nodding along as if you're paying attention on a Zoom meeting.

Then you upload the video as a Zoom background so you can sneak away from a call. Of course, this could result in wonderfully disastrous moments such as the video depicting you laughing just as your coworker shares that his pet hamster has died.

"A hassle-free interface will allow you to record and save a video of yourself nodding along politely, with the occasional smile, while your boss talks about the latest budget reports or your friend wants to put her new baby on to talk for the millionth time," Coors said in a statement.
