While some were confused seeing the message pop-up on screen others thought it was relatable. Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was being interviewed on television from New York via Zoom when viewers noticed a familiar pop-up on screen that said “Your meeting will end in 10 min”. Although the pop-up appeared briefly, eagle-eyed netizens were quick to spot and soon screenshots were shared on social media.
The incident took place during The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, while Clinton was talking to the show’s host on various issues related to the first presidential debate.

People on social media found this extremely relatable and many said they wouldn’t feel as embarrassed the next time it happened with them. Many wondered whether it was Clinton or the news channel that had run out of time. Soon, jokes followed.
Hillary Clinton just nearly got cut-off on MSNBC for running out of time and not having a Zoom Pro account and I’ve never seen a more perfect DNC moment.

Is it weird that I respect her a little more for not having Zoom Pro

While Hillary Clinton was doing a live remote interview on MSNBC, this pop-up came on the screen. For some reason I was comforted to know she uses the free version of Zoom like the rest of us. pic.twitter.com/xM8lI1rdQw

Clinton, a former US Secretary of State, also responded to the jokes and tweeted that she would upgrade her account.
Ok, ok, I’ll upgrade. https://t.co/I3NGrPnmpw
