Need Advice with a Dog

I recently helped out a friend and let his dog stay with me for the week while he is in Europe.

I was told this pup was well trained and it would not be an issue if its left alone for a couple hours. Never barks, sleeps in his crate, and is super easy going.

Unfortately, this dog has a lot more energy and is barking constantly if I am not playing with it. If I am in a meeting in my office, its barking through the meeting which other people can hear when I am off mute. The dog is ok when I am working in the same room but it jumps on me a couple times or is in the background playing.

So my question is, given I am not going to be able to train it since its only with me for a short stint.

Is it better to be on video with a dog making a cameo and not barking or having a bark in the background when you are not off mute?
