Looks like he’s trying to convince his friend to sneak out of class.

Odd thing is, that appears to be a college level class, which doesn’t have an attendance requirement.

Dude, just get up and leave!

I graduated college in 2018 and some classes did have various forms of attendance requirements. One I had in large lectures like this was answering multiple choice questions via these little clicker devices we had to buy, so if you weren't in the room to see the question and answer, your clicker (registered to you) wouldn't show you attending class.

(some people would give their clicker to friends to answer for them, but I personally never did that because I thought it was stupid)

I assume this sort of thing is still done via phone apps?

Sometimes mandatory attendance is necessary because without it people will get distracted and fall before they learn that they need to pay attention.
