I kind of know how you feel.
True sir....
'Network error' is the most common excuse.
Sometimes I have made excuse that I went to the washroom
, but I don't think it will be a good idea for you. Yeah... I know its a little embarrassing but that is the reason that it always works
. You can turn off the mike and the video both.
Maybe you can say that somebody fainted in your office so you had to leave.
You can also say that you heard a loud noise outside so you had to leave to check it out.
Maybe excuse of any rat or any other animal entering your office help you out. You can tell them that there is a rat in your office, so you got distracted.
All the best!
