Zoom Escaper Helps You Sabotage a Virtual Meeting With Fake Sounds

What is the best distracting sound that might get you out of suffering through your next Zoom meeting? "Man Weeping" probably wouldn't be my first choice, but it's one of the entertaining options offered in a new sound effects app called Zoom Escaper created by artist Sam Lavigne. Once you download some free software, you'll be able to add a baby crying or an echo to your microphone feed to "self-sabotage your audio stream to make your presence unbearable to other people."
I'm not sure who would use the "Urination" option as a way to get out of a meeting, but this app might be good for a few laughs on your next unnecessarily long Zoom call. Especially if you're willing to fake having a newborn and utilize the "Upset Baby" option. If not, you could always practice your storytelling skills to explain the man weeping in the background.
