A video showing just how wrong a live connection can go on an Australian channel has gone viral.

9News presenter Alice Monfries has invited Royal Automobile Association representative Mark Borlace for a Zoom interview, However, nothing is going right with this connection as the interviewer has not managed to get the right background on Zoom.

At first he is seen talking in front of a photo of a girl washing a car. A diver is then shown swimming with a sea turtle. Toothless Alice Monfries tries to hold back her giggles at her guest’s botched makeovers.

But the climax soon came when the interviewer activated a filter in the application with which he “put” on his head a hat made of pizza.

Then the presenter couldn’t take it anymore and burst out laughing. “I’ll log out and log back in shortly,” said Mark Borlace as he watched as he made one mistake after another.

“Fine, fine,” Monfries replied, trying to get back into the flow of the show.
