There are approximately fourteen individuals, each sitting on colorful chairs, some smiling at the camera. Among the attendees, there are a mix of men and women, varying in age. On the table, there are several disposable coffee cups, and a hand sanitizer bottle is also visible. A large television screen is mounted on the wall in the background, and there are some wall-mounted storage units and a window on the left side of the room.
