When on a video call, you start to talk but stop because the other person starts to talk but they stop to let you talk. This repeats for a few moments as you all say half words but then stop for the other person to say a half word.
Eventually there is an awkward long pause as both parties wait for the other to speak. Then both parties start talking at the same time again resetting the cycle.
A virtual equivalent to trying to move aside in the grocery store aisle to avoid a cart collision but both people move to the same side. Chaos ensues as both people try to find a route out of the way of the others route while not communicating with the other person.

Basically, in the December of 2017 Jacksepticeye created the STC stream and Overnight watch which caused the world to create two shifts (the American and the European) basically during these shifts people thought commands might work so they started typing /ZOOM and it became a meme.
