AAh, the Internet. It’s not just for cat videos. Nowadays, technology makes it possible to not only work from home, but from anywhere. As more companies set up global offices and hire remote workers, we’re entering a new era of communication. To prepare you for your next remote meeting (it’s inevitable, trust me), I’ve put together a guide to the types of people you may meet while sitting on your couch in pajamas.

1. Holds the laptop too close

You’ll become very familiar with the oft-overlooked under-the-chin region of the face.

2. Never shows their face

You’ll wonder if this person is rolling their eyes at everything you are saying.

3. Weird background noises

Don’t be alarmed if you hear a noise you weren’t even aware humans could make.

4. Always tries to talk while muted
