When the phone RINGS, you:
TAKE a CALL
Or
TURN the ringer OFF
PUT the phone ON SILENT
PUT it ON VIBRATE
Notification bubbles
TURN OFF notifications
KEEP your notifications OFF all the time
KEEP your phone ON SILENT all the time
(because I don’t wanna be interrupted while I’m working.
Also I don’t LIKE to SEE that notification bubble. It BOTHERS me if I HAVE notification bubbles EVERYWHERE
If you LIKE your phone TO NOTIFY you during the day, but not at night, while you’re sleeping, you can PUT your phone ON do not disturb.)
Online meeting
Super-common place now.
Expressions you MIGHT NEED IN online meetings.
When we ARE ON a CALL, we don’t SAY just WAIT( sounds too direct and rude)
HANG ON a sec…
HOLD ON a sec..
GIVE me a sec..
I’ll be RIGHT BACK.
I’m so sorry to INTERRUPT you, but I have to GO TAKE CARE of something. Give me one minute, I’ll be RIGHT BACK.
Im so sorry to INTERRUPT you, but there is something I have to TAKE CARE of REAL QUICK.
You might give them a reason like my soup is boiling OVER / I’m expecting package / my doorbell just rang/ my son is screaming, I have to go SEE what happened.
General: sorry something important just happened- I have to GO TAKE CARE of REAL QUICK

Is your audio connected?
Is the VOLUME UP?
ARE you MUTED?
Is your MIC working?
Is something wrong WITH your mic?

Are your headphones CHARGED?
You might GO OUT and COME BACK IN

MEET me BACK here in a minute.
REJOIN in one minute
RESTART or REBOOT your computer

Some other thing that might go wrong
1)You’re frozen
The video is stuck in a certain position.
Turn the video off and then back on again
Reset your WiFi
2) there is a lag
When you say something and the person doesn’t hear it for a few seconds after you say it usually because of slow internet. There is nothing you can do about other than resetting your WiFi.
3) There is an echo.
You say something and you hear your voice a second later.
I always disconnect and reconnect when there is an echo because I CAN’T TAKE IT.
4) You are in slow-motion.
This is when someone is speaking super slowly. Usually this problem corrects itself after a few seconds.
5) GET KICK OUT OF a meeting
You have to rejoin.
Glitch-sudden problem with an application (random)
Bugs-problem with a code ( non random).
When developers DO UPDATES, they’re supposed to fix the bugs in the code.
Low battery
I have 2%.
My phone is AT 2%. I gotta charge it.
My phone is about to die. Let me call you back.
Sorry we got disconnected, my phone died.
If the device turns itself off completely or breaks, so it dies

Her moms’s car died last week
