SAN BRUNO, Calif. — A majority of online Americans (64 percent) are watching videos at work and 3 percent of them are watching porn, according to a recent survey.

The survey, conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of Qumu, a business video platform provider, showed that men are more likely than women to admit they have ever watched any kind of online video while at work (53 percent vs. 34 percent), according to BusinessNewsDaily.com.

The survey also showed that employees watch a variety of videos online including news clips (25 percent), viral videos (15 percent), television shows (9 percent) and porn (3 percent).

The findings revealed that 61 percent of Americans who are online think that companies should let their employees use whatever mobile device they choose for work-related tasks.

The survey found that only 9 percent of online Americans believe employees are “very aware” of what kind of effects watching online videos on their mobile devices at work may have on the speed and bandwidth of their company’s wireless Internet network.
