Let’s make WFH meetings fun again!
I’ve got a bit of a WFH (working from home) problem. A problem, I think many of us face really. Apparently, my lounge doesn’t look anything like a professional work environment, sterile, clean, and full of dull office desks! Who would’ve guessed 🤨
Behind me currently sits a couch, TV, coffee table full of legos, gym equipment, breakfast leftovers, and a pile of laundry that nearly touches the ceiling! Okay, that last one isn’t entirely true, but the “chair-robe” is in full effect.
So when it comes to Zoom (and MS Teams) meetings, thank goodness for blurred backgrounds. I just imagine my work colleagues seeing my blurred background and imagining the pristine, carefully curated, and expertly designed area in which I work at home.
But really blurred backgrounds are a bit boring and truth be told- every time I see one, I imagine the dump I live in and think others are hiding the same dirty dishes I am.
Now Zoom offers some nice alternative ones but I decided to go for a wee search and found some suitable (and “eye-catching”) backgrounds to help brighten up those (sometimes) dull backgrounds. I found a few nice ones, with close to normal perspectives (so you don’t look like you’re sitting behind some 80s b-roll greenscreen) but also a few fun ones (well I think they are fun 🤷🏽♂️).
Hopefully, these give you a chuckle or at least make your meeting participants sit up and take notice. ‘Man, {insert your name} sure is funny as all heck with these backgrounds!’
Hey team, if you’d like to say “thank you”, I’d love to be able to add you to my mailing list. I’ve got even more ideas for some useful giveaways this year, so sign up (see below 👇🏽 ) and I promise ‘no spam’, only good stuff!
