zoom pause

The silence that occurs on a zoom meeting when someone asks a question, and the online delay makes the responder stop for anywhere between 2-10 seconds before answering.

Creates great awkward tension because the asker doesn’t know if the other person didn’t hear the question or just doesn’t want to answer.
