His daughter, Marion, burst into his office with a hippity-hoppity strut that has since become an internet sensation for confidently entering a room. We all have seen the wonderful viral video of this BBC dad (unless you have been in a cave for 3.5 years): Kelly, an associate professor of political science in South Korea, was speaking live from his home-office (that was wonderfully equipped) when all hell broke loose behind him. For instance, imagine your spouse walking in the background with a pancake on a spatula asking if you would like to have one more (No, it did not happen to one of us) or even better imagine your kid walking into the room completely naked asking you to help wear his shorts (Neither did this happen to us). Things fallout a little when we are pushed into situations we aren't usually comfortable with. However, partaking in a virtual meet-up is also causing a new type of predicament to take form: the anxiety of what and how we look like on-screen.

If you’re a whizz with Photoshop (or any other image editing software), you have the freedom to create any background you like, but Canva provides a simple alternative for those of us not gifted in design.Ĭanva’s tool allows you to create your own Zoom background using its library of millions of illustrations and icons, and customise the design with a few easy-to-use editing tools.įor those who haven’t used Canva before, there are 80 ready-made templates available, ranging from star sign-themed illustrations to landscape shots. Creating custom Zoom backgroundsĬreating your own custom Zoom background is simple, especially with the newly released tool from Canva.
Using a green screen backdrop is ideal, but impractical for many, and a plain background of any colour works perfectly well so long as your clothing isn’t the same colour. Zoom backgrounds don’t perform quite as well in partial darkness or glaring light, which can both result in unwanted distortion. Whichever background you select in the settings pane will automatically be applied when you next log into a video conference (which is worth bearing in mind if you’re also using the application to conference with friends in your downtime).įor the best results, it’s important to ensure the video is bright and evenly lit.
