A participant in a Zoom meeting turned the air blue when he forget to turn his camera off and started having sex on a bed in the background.
The man, who has not been named, was unaware his X-rated performance was being live-streamed during the council meeting much to the horror of the other participants.
The 10:am meeting on how Rio de Janeiro city council can guarantee students are fed during the coronavirus pandemic had already begun when the man, who is said to not have been a councillor, bailed out of the discussion.
But he kept his camera rolling and was seen sitting on a bed, naked, with a woman beside him before they started having sex.
According to local newspaper Metropoles the meeting was chaired by Leonel Brizola, a member of the Socialism and Liberty Party, who turned a blind eye to the raunchy scenes and continued the meeting which lasted four hours.
The other councillors in the meeting also ignored the man’s performance and continued to discuss the matter at hand.
In a statement, Mr Brizola described the incident as an “involuntary indiscretion” adding that it eclipsed the important issues being discussed in the meeting.
He said: “As soon as we noticed what was happening, we immediately asked the people controlling the audio and video of the participants to take it off the feed.
“Us councillors and other participants do not have any input in controlling or editing videos on Zoom.”
He also said the meeting “demonstrated the incompetence of a city that has resources, but fails to ensure that children’s rights are respected”.
It is unknown if the man was disciplined.
