Last week,a university professor in Singapore gave a two-hour online class but didn't realize he was on mute. Professor Wang teaches math and was not aware that in his online presentation the microphone on his computer was switched off! None of the students attending his online class heard what professor Wang was talking about.

His class started well but then it froze. The video came back but the microphone was off and professor Wang did not notice.

Students tried many times to contact professor Wang during the lesson but could not get through to him.They waved their arms and even tried calling him on his personal phone. A video of the moment he understood the situation has gone viral on the Internet. It has received more than 653,000 views. After realizing what happened, professor Wang offered to redo the lesson at a different time so his students did not miss that class.
