You've just said goodbye to one of your favourite testing legends off the back of wonderful and insightful Call for Insights.
You've shared with your team how nervous you were about it. And they share congrats and supportive messages.
You check the app that recorded the call.
And you see unusable video footage.
Welcome to my nightmare.
😱

It's all good though, fortunately the team behind the video software have fixed it and the recording has been recovered. 😌
