During the last 12 months I've also had plenty of webinar or online meeting requests which are hosted on various platforms. My biggest mistake was working on something else and logging in at the last moment only to find my chosen browser was incompatible, then frantically trying to paste the link into Edge or Firefox. No sneaking into the back row like you could at a physically attended conference: no, instead my name got nicely announced as 'just joining' for all to see.
I did however get very adept and ensuring the microphone was muted before joining the meeting and as required throughout when not presenting myself

"...instead my name got nicely announced as 'just joining' for all to see..."
If that was all that was 'announced' on screen, then I think you were doing pretty well compared with some...
