Well, if your schedule is packed, when else can you do it?
He was probably one of those guys who before COVID would jack off in the work bathrooms.
Speaking as someone who has done work-from-home since 2013 (way before it was the trendy new thing), let me tell that you where you sit to work and where you sit to view pornography in your free time can be one and the same place. It’s very easy to make a mistake on a stressful/frazzled day thinking that a web meeting has ended when it hasn’t. I’ve never made that particular mistake, but I think once I fired up netflix and started watching a show and suddenly a lot of voices were asking me what the music was and I panicked. I played it off as an accident clicking a link that I didn’t realize would play media, but in reality I honestly thought the web meeting had ended.
I’m sympathetic to an embarrassing web meeting oops, if it really was an oops.

I feel like it’s more likely he was going to whack it to the image of one of his co-workers, in the meeting.
Also, Jeffrey Toobin was always kind of skeezy.
This really is beyond the pale though.
That’s my assumption as well, but this isn’t the kind of story that I personally want to read too much into to find out.
Edit: I am sympathetic to genuine mistakes too as I’ve been having to use Zoom exclusively for months now and have seen a few, er, blunders (mostly half-naked roommates/partners casually scrolling by in the background or people forgetting they are not muted while having personal conversations), but this is a bit harder for me to believe was purely unintentional, aside from getting caught, barring more info.

Here’s OJ making fun of Toobin, and then endless replies with puns about how OJ murdered people.
Example:
Also Jake Tapper literally calling him a murderer:
“Toobin” is going to become a verb.
“We had to block Omegle in the house. Too many skeevy dudes are on there toobin.”
There was a Vice article posted in a different thread about this incident. It happened during a breakout session during the call. From the article:
It looks like it was not intended for this audience, but for an audience or person on some sort of porn chat site. As for whether it is a good idea to be doing this while in a work meeting…
Ah, pulling the ol’ Louis CK. That rascal!
Is that what he calls it?

A career ruined for failure to use a $10 webcam privacy guard!

Do y’all like not own any masking tape or have access to literally any sticker or adhesive note of any kind?
Guys, just don’t wank on your work laptop. Use another device. And another room.

I used a sticky note on my desktop logitech cam because I almost never use it. My work laptop is a daily use, and adhesive can get on the lens, so I have a little lens cover that you just slide back and forth which is better for heavily used cams.
I have no idea how a work call could get anyone in the mood or why anyone would get in the mood right before the work call, or how they can be so relaxed at all while working because… wth, just thinking about some meetings stresses me out.
Yeah, IT really doesn’t want to have to clean that up!

I have stories. Multiple. And coming up with discrete ways to suggest things without just blurting out ‘your browser history is full of porn’ on the sales floor.
Several years ago we dumped all LAN network traffic in the Blizzard office and a Wireshark plugin which re-assembled any images in the network streams.
I saw things I cannot un-see.

This is clearly what your new Oculus 2 is meant for - separate work and wanking easily!
Wireshark plugins? Is there a list of the most useful/best ones? I use it periodically for troubleshooting, but it might be nice to know what kind of plugins are available for common troubleshooting.
