| Dec 1, 2021 at 17:47 | comment | added | Andy Bonner | "Business" certainly can mean "what you're focusing on"; I think the problem was that there are so few words in the sentence that using more specific words is better. "Business" can also mean "the industry of corporate careers," and people often use Zoom for "business" purposes, so there's a potential for confusion. | |

The problem might not be only "business," but that "switch to" could be clearer. Perhaps "... and then turn their attention to other activities" or similar. 2) It shouldn't bug me, but I can't ignore it—you don't have to double-click a link!! | |
