Lawyer appearing in virtual court can't remove Zoom cat filter

A Texas lawyer accidentally left a kitten filter on during a video conference call with a judge and was unable to change it, eventually responding to a judge’s query about why he was being addressed by a digital feline by saying: “I’m here live. I am not a cat.”

Lawyer Rod Ponton’s accidental morphing into a wide-eyed baby cat appears destined to achieve viral immortality.

In the manner of good judges everywhere, judge Ferguson sought to use the example of human/feline fallibility as a teachable moment. He tweeted: “If a child used your computer, before you join a virtual hearing check the ‘Zoom video options’ to be sure filters are off.”

He added: “These fun moments are a byproduct of the legal profession’s dedication to ensuring that the justice system continues to function in these tough times.”

If I were a lawyer, I would be forever incapable of comprehending how to remove a cat filter, or any other filter that would mysteriously appear on my video calls against my will :flower:

It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke!

I’m a lawyer and let me tell you, Zoom has the entire legal industry SHOOK. Especially since most lawyers and judges are older and have a very low grasp on technology, working from home has created so much mess in serious situations like this that I’ve witnessed. The best part of this video is that the judge posted the video to YouTube himself :ladyhaha:
