# Half the call talked into a void they didn't know was empty.

  “You’re on mute.” meant they could see you. Nobody could hear you.

 Half the call talked into a void they didn’t know was empty. The other half watched a mouth move and waited for software to invent a button. Presence was on. Sound wasn’t. People learned to wave at the camera before they checked the red icon.

 Ignored by accident — or by a setting that felt like manners?
