How to take a restroom break amid zoom meeting if you are Serena Williams

Serena Williams must be new to the zoom call meeting scenario. The 41-year-old had a genuine question regarding the right etiquette to ask for a restroom break. The former world number 1 took to her Twitter account and asked the question. Later, Andy Roddick explained how to do it in his interaction with the Tennis Channel. Here’s what he said.

“I am assuming she wasn’t at a place where she could just wait for a commercial break. Maybe that’d be weird, but is it any different from any meeting? May I please be excused? I need to go to the restroom and then a quick comeback. If it is eight people in zoom, you text the one you know and say hey, can you have an extended version of the answer for me here? I gotta hit the restroom quick.”
