It may appear as though you spend the majority of your time in meetings rather than actually working. I can’t speak for you, but the majority of those meetings are now held virtually for us.
What about you? Because more and more work is being done remotely, virtual meetings have become an increasingly important tool for maintaining connections in the workplace as well as in our personal life.
One of the most advantageous aspects of holding meetings virtually is the convenience of having all of the materials you require at your disposal, including spreadsheets, meeting agenda templates, and even AI note-taking tools.
The negative aspect of this is that it is very simple to become distracted by social media and begin searching for amusing cat GIFs or the newest dances that are hot on Tiktok.
Our solution? Meeting memes. The use of memes in meetings provides you and your team with something to focus on – and laugh about – without fully distracting you from the task at hand.
15 Meeting Memes To Keep Up Team Spirits 2024
What are meeting memes?
The term “meeting meme” refers to jokes about the workplace that have been adapted for use online. Consider using GIFs, still photographs, or excerpts from a movie that contain a humorous quotation or a reference to a pop cultural phenomenon.

When you forget to TGIF….
Meeting meme: someecards meme about Friday
Let’s face it: Maintaining a schedule is extremely crucial! Nobody wants to have a team meeting on Friday, and this is especially true for people who work from home and consider casual Friday to be just another day spent watching Netflix in their pajamas while using Zoom.
If we wait until Monday to discuss it, are we really going to forget all that we wanted to discuss?

Is it lunchtime yet?
Avoid 2 hour meeting meme
It’s possible that some of your employees take great satisfaction in the fact that they skipped lunch or ate soup from the microwave while working at their computers.
However, the fact that one of you is fine with this does not mean that the rest of you are as well! It is already challenging enough to be effective while working from home.
There is no reason to have meetings during everyone’s lunch break and so disrupt their efforts to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
-
It isn’t over yet….
Meeting meme: stay late meme
Just wait until the manager tells you when lunch will be over before skipping lunch is a big deal. We are not suggesting that time spent forming teams is a waste of anyone’s time, but perhaps the higher-ups might schedule this activity before the deadline for your quarterly review.
-
Any questions?
Star Trek meme
It’s not always the person in charge of the team who misses the obvious; sometimes it’s one of us! There is a time and a place for questioning, but if your team meeting has already gone into overtime, perhaps you should store your inquiries for the meeting after this one.

Tech check
The Office meme
What could be more awkward than failing to mute your microphone when you were supposed to? We are going to move forward with sharing the incorrect screen.

Let sleeping dogs lie…
Meeting meme: Zoom meeting meme
They say that if you post something on the internet, nobody will ever know who you are.
And if you’re on an audio-only Zoom call, nobody needs to know that you’re a sleeping dog because they’ll just hear your voice. 3:00 pm meeting, you say? Oh, this is wonderful news. I had hoped to take a snooze in the afternoon.
-
Awkward….
Bear on a park bench meme
Have you ever received the notification “Your meeting should start in a few seconds”… but it didn’t actually start? Is this not the right meeting room for you? How much time should pass before you put yourself back into hibernation?
Even if we don’t know the answers to these questions, we want you to know that you’re not the only one who has them. (Well, you are technically correct, but I think you understand the point!)

When you add a meeting at 8:30 in the morning to your coworkers’ calendars at 7:53 in the morning, you shouldn’t be surprised if they show up dressed in this manner.

Bad timing?
Kid crying meme
On a Zoom call, you can choose to ignore a variety of sounds, such as bird melodies, elevator dings, and even automobile alarms; but, a child who is weeping cannot be ignored.
If only you had the same control over the sounds that played in the background as you do over the video! If that were the case, it wouldn’t matter as much if your child had a temper tantrum in the middle of a crucial staff meeting.
-
May the coffee be with you…
Meeting meme: Baby Yoda
A Baby Yoda meeting meme is the best way to liven up a dull gathering, regardless of whether or not you are a fan of the Star Wars franchise. Grogu’s sense of style practically shouts “work from home couture,” and we believe that all of us may benefit from picking up a thing or two from him.
4 Best general workplace memes
Finally, these timeless office memes are just right for pretty much any occasion you can think of. (On second thinking, before you submit any of these to your boss, you might want to reconsider!)

Winter is coming…
In a meeting meme, Ron Swanson looks cold
For those of us who spend at least some of our time working in an office setting, returning to a situation in which we do not have control over the thermostat can take some getting used to.
Let’s watch the Women’s Winter video meme created by College Humor one more time before we put on the air conditioner to serve as a friendly reminder that we all have unique conceptions of what constitutes the ideal temperature.

Sorry, my notifications were off…
Meeting meme: Sorry for bothering you
As a remote worker, it’s simpler to avoid awkward interactions with other people. On the other hand, might it be that these exchanges are less awkward because everything on the internet is awkward?
But eventually, you won’t be able to avoid responding to your coworker’s Slack messages any longer.
At that point, you’ll have to explain that you aren’t mad at them; rather, it’s just that they don’t get the crying-laughing face emoji that you were using.
-
It’s not that I’m distracted, it’s that I’m multitasking!
The Office Dwight meme
If a coworker makes a comment about how much time you spend on your phone during meetings, don’t you wish you could just react with a meme like this one?
It’s not that you aren’t paying attention; rather, it’s that you are able to concentrate more effectively while your brain is juggling multiple tasks at once. (Is that something that exists??)
-
Next question, please?
I wasn’t listening meme
Okay, but there are occasions when you truly are preoccupied, yet your manager still manages to ask you a question about something to which you most certainly weren’t paying attention.
What options do you have right now? If you can’t find a way to replay the Zoom recording without making an excuse for yourself, we believe the next best option is to simply be truthful and say something along these lines.
