I refuse (I'm polite about it) to allow people on my zoom meetings who are calling in from their car unless they are parked. But I am frequently on zoom mtgs run by other people who don't seem to care.
Even when I just call someone on the phone (not that often these days) and find they're in the car I always ask, "Hey, should I just call you later?" and, perhaps surprisingly, people will usually say "yeah, we can talk XXX". This is common when they will get to their destination in not so long a time. I'm nore likely to get a "naah, I'll be on the road for a couple of hours so let's just talk now" than I am, "I'll be driving for another 10 minutes so let's just talk now"
- mattgreenrocks 3y agoEven when the link is handy, the stupid Zoom UI is horrible to use from a car. I park myself in a meeting before driving and then use CarPlay mute/unmute as needed. It works ok. If I lose the call, it's impossible to get back in, as I need to use the phone.
