Can You Find The Mute Button In This Virtual Holiday Party Scene?

For many people, the pandemic has shifted the way they work, and rather than doing in-person meetings, they've spent the last nine months conducting business online with virtual meetings. Anyone who has ever been in one knows how rare it is to complete the meeting without hearing "You are on mute" or "Can everyone mute themselves?"

Well with the holidays ahead and the pandemic in full force, the CDC has advised Americans to not travel this year. For many, that means the only way to spend time with family will be through video conferencing, and with plenty of relatives who have never before been on Zoom or Teams or any other type of virtual meeting, it might get a little challenging at times.

Well British event insurance provider Protectivity has you covered. They've created a puzzle where you have to find the mute/unmute button in a holiday virtual party scene. While many of us have become very familiar with that icon of an old fashioned microphone with a slash through it, it might be smart to send this to family members who aren't as close with the button, just to prepare them for your own upcoming holiday chat.

If you've given up, scroll down to find out where that mute/unmute button is hiding.

Along with the puzzle, Protectivity also created a list of 10 virtual holiday party ideas to add some excitement to your online get-together, at least more excitement than having to explain to grandma how to turn on her camera.
