As it was a meeting to discuss the serious employment insecurity issue after Corona 19, the atmosphere had subsided. But when Republican Congressman Tom Emma (Minnesota) began to speak, laughter began to be heard everywhere. Eventually, Chairman Massine Waters stopped speaking.

“Are you okay?” said Chairman Waters seriously, “Your face is upside down.” In the video chat screen, his face, upside down, was floating.

Senator Emma, ​​who was aware of the situation, replied, “Yes, but I don’t know how to fix this.”

The lawmakers were confused and finally laughed, and some lawmakers told them to change the zoom filter setting, saying, “It looks like a cat case.”

It is referring to the case in which a lawyer defended himself in the form of a cat by turning on the zoom filter in a video trial in the Texas District Court on the 9th. At the time, the lawyer said, “I am not a cat, I am here.”

It is presumed that Congressman Emma also turned on the zoom filter that day. However, he did not find the cause until the end, and rebooted the zoom program to solve the problem.
