Technology is an awesome thing that connects people all across the world but watch out, or a webcam may catch you doing something you don’t want anyone to see.
A woman found this out the hard way when she crawled across the floor to get her watch as her husband was on a work call. The TikToker, who goes by @shutzyy on the platform, thought no one could see her, but boy, was she ever wrong.
Fortunately, she (and her husband) appear to have a great sense of humour, and they shared their unintentionally hilarious moment on TikTok on Friday (Nov 18), where it has since been viewed 330,000 times.

“My husband was on a video call but I had to retrieve my watch from the other side of the table,” the voice over can be heard saying at the beginning of the 22-second clip.
And sure enough, Ms Shutzyy’s husband is seen and heard engaged in his work call.
“This is what I did thinking no one saw me,” the VO continues.
The top of Ms Shutzyy is then seen moving from the right to the left of the screen, behind her husband’s chair.
Her husband is taken aback and appears to lose his flow of thought.
“He had a brain fart from seeing me crawl in his screen HAHAH,” Ms Shutzyy writes, as she can be seen crawling again, this time from left to right.
She captioned her video, “Stealth mode game weak #fail #videocallfail.”
Netizens commenting on the video found the incident as hilarious as Ms Shutzyy did.
The TikToker wrote in one comment that she laughed until she cried “after apologising many times.”
It would have been simpler to have just taken the watch in a normal way, one commenter pointed out, to which Ms Shutzyy agreed.
And when one netizen asked her to “Please put Mission Impossible music,” she graciously obliged.
