I didn't even know you could be made into a cat on there. Stupid feature if you ask me. Video conferencing is overrated anyway.
But yeah, showing up to court proceedings as a virtual cat, I feel like that would be like me hiring an attorney who shows up to actual physical court in a swimsuit. It just doesn't present a "we are totally on top of our game" vibe.
I too am surprised there's not an "actually this is serious and we don't want people on this call to show up as cats" mode that can be set as default. Seems like an obvious feature, but then again I wouldn't be surprised if zoom wants shit like this to happen for free advertising purposes (notice how the zoom logo is always prominently shown in these videos).
It might not always be Zoom's fault. I know when I use a vTuber overlay (I'm not a vTuber, was just curious how it worked), it interfaces directly with the camera input/output, not later programs which use that camera information. In such a situation, no amount of "idiot-proofing" on Zoom's part would prevent me from appearing (or not appearing as it may be) on camera in a certain aesthetic.
