Zoom prank in the style of a horror movie

A director of the post-apocalyptic short film Dawn of the Deaf, Rob Savage, pranked on his friends right during an online party in Zoom.

Rob told his friends that he heard strange sounds from the attic and that he was going to check what was going on there. After that, Rob armed himself with a large kitchen knife, and… See what happened next in a video below.

Zoom video conference with Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs (and this is not an Ouija séance)

Russian programmers have developed a technology called Avatarify that can superimpose an image on another person’s appearance in real time. The program can be used in Zoom or Skype. You can pretend to be another person, like Steve Jobs or Albert Einstein.

An eccentric conductor worth 3 million views is tossing flashes of lightning

If you read our articles, then when the quarantine is over, you will become a movie fan and a polymath with an excellent sense of humor rather than a pale hypochondriac who gained ten kilos. This video will contribute to your educational process. This is the original interpretation of the recording of 2009: the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra led by the chief conductor Gustavo Dudamel is performing the first part of the famous Symphony No. 5 by Ludwig van Beethoven.

Conductors are known for their emotionality and active gestures, and this has become the main feature of the video. Maestro Dudamel tosses flashes of lightning, scares musicians with a lion, plays tennis, and does a dozen of other funny things. See for yourself in a video.
