In a video that has gone viral on social media, politician Valentina Batres can be seen trying to sneak out of a Zoom video call. She does this by switching on Zoom's virtual background feature to make it seem like she's still on the call.

Sharing the video on Twitter, Mexican lawyer Jorge Gaviño Ambriz wrote - "Deputy @valentinabtg : And I thought that you were paying a lot of attention to my speech, when I realized that that attentive look was a photograph."
