Zoom Virtual Backgrounds
Why show off your messy living room when you can video chat with a virtual background?
The Zoom video chat app has become very popular and paramount during this time. Many of you may have discovered a fun little setting that transforms your video background from the room behind you to outer space or the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge, but have you played around with uploading a custom image? LOCAL Life has created a library of images to choose from below. Feel free to download and impress your colleagues, clients, friends or others on your next call. No more embarrassing temporary “home office” spaces filled with kid’s toys, piles of laundry, chewed up dog toys and more. Look professional and put together with these backgrounds.
