I was on a conference call with a lot of people on it from my org, we all WFH in the company so we had our cameras on. My desk is positioned next to a reflective surface and my OH came into the room briefly to drop off a coffee with me. She said I looked miserable so flashed me to cheer me up. I waved her off and she left

While on the call someone messaged me saying they could see everything and I was mortified. Got brought up later that day by manager and I laughed it off and sort of joked about wardrobe malfunctions and assumed that would be the end but it hasnt and long tory short now there is a call in for the end of the week and Im told a process has to be followed about professionalism and conduct.

Can I ask, what would my defence here be? I work in a dedicated room so not like I have secret company info spilling out, am I responsible for the actions of my partner accidentally being seen in a reflection just because the call happened to be recorded? The recording has actually been taken down and I was told by my manager people are annoyed as they have had to edit part of it away.
