| I have a new colleague that is walking on her treadmill desk during EVERY SINGLE ZOOM we have. Even outward facing/client ones. Aren't those things for while you are camera off/doing your "desk" work? It's extremely distracting... and strange. |

| Are you her boss? |

| Is it really loud? |

| I know of the lady who does this. I wonder if it is her. She perceives this as her time of getting in exercise. |

She's constantly taking water swigs and towel wiping her brow. So... not very professional |

| Very disruptive. Bit of “watch me” if you ask me. |

| She's probably on the spectrum. |

She's towel wiping her brow....from walking? I walk on my treadmill for an hour a day and I don't sweat. |

| Y’all really be stressed out & bothered about everything. If her work product is fine, let this woman work out. I have horrible adhd and I pace my entire house on calls. Is that also unprofessional? |

lol imagine being such a fragile person you’re bothered by someone walking.
Get a clue. |

| I think it's unprofessional for the client facing meetings. If you feel comfortable, mention it to your boss once (assuming your boss isn't there to see it personally). Then let it go. If your boss is also in those meetings, then it's MYOB. This is just an ultra modern example of dealing with coworkers. |

| That’s unprofessional. On her own time? Fine. But to be visibly working out on meetings is very attention-seeking and distracting. Tell her to cut it out. |

| Unprofessional. If I were her supervisor, I’d say something. |

| I think if you are on camera, etiquette says you should be seated and still. If she is on phone-calls and walking, fine. If she is working on spreadsheets and walking, fine. But I will agree that on camera she should not be walking. |
