Zoom Private Chat - Happy Birthday Easter Egg

 In today's world (28-11-2021, for future reference), Zoom is an indispensable part of everyday communication, be it a company's employees using it for a formal meeting, or just a bunch of cousins in distant places using it to get reacquainted with each other, so they can recognize each other when they plan a get-together some months later. While Zoom is mostly known for it's virtual meeting applications, it's private chat gets all the attention in this post.

Go on, we are listening. What's so special about the Private Chat?

[Disclaimer : This has NOT been tested on Group Chats or Spaces.]

When in private chat with someone, simply type 'happy birthday' and send it as a message. Cakes will float down from the top for about 2 seconds. I discovered this while wishing someone, and I was presently surprised to see the cakes. The cake animations are visible on both sides. In fact it works even when the message only contains 'happy birthday'. For example - 'Happy birthday, from me, and my family' will also cause the cakes to float down. The video below shows the Easter Egg in all it's glory.

Zoom, and other apps like it have really helped us all during the pandemic. Schools, Offices, and other things would not be able to run without it. How are YOU grateful to these apps, and the gift of technology that has been given to humans by their progressive minds? Comment below!

Happy Hunting!
