Pick any one to elevate your personal brand (and invite a touch of envy from your coworkers).Īlso, on Zoom people have literally thought this was my home…one day friends, one day. High-end home goods store West Elm is offering a variety of stylish virtual backgrounds ranging from artfully eclectic Brooklyn-style lofts to sunny Palm Springs abodes. Enough people are jumping on the virtual background bandwagon that there are plenty of resources available to you. With a few clicks of a button, you can position yourself in a setting that looks the part – and without the hassle of moving furniture or springing for a home makeover. A virtual background overlays your “real” background with an image or video of your choice.

And unless you’re one of the blessed few, you’re probably not working in a stunning, airy office straight out of Home Beautiful.įortunately there’s an easy way to deflect those prying eyes: a virtual background. The thing is, your clients, customers and colleagues are also taking advantage of the window you’re providing into your own personal world. All that fancy decor, those cluttered bookshelves and those strewn toys tell you plenty about the personal lives of your clients, customers and colleagues. Whether you’re logging on for business purposes or for a virtual happy hour, let’s face it: you’re paying more attention than you probably should to other people’s home office environments.

If you’re like most of us, you’re spending majority of your time in quarantine toggling between Zoom meetings.
