Hack: How to Create the Best Background for Video Conferences

By Sierra Marquina

If you're working from home and videoconferencing, what is the best background to have?

Whether it’s Microsoft Teams, Zoom, GoToMeeting, Google Hangouts or just faceTime, we’re doing a lot of video conferencing right now and for the foreseeable future.

So if you have a business meeting, how do you create a professional background?

Turn your desk so there is a wall behind you.

A lot of us have desks that face a wall but then your co-workers can see the whole room behind you. Next, you should fill the blank space with a plant or framed photos.

Or, some apps like Zoom, also let you add a virtual background!
