It lets you do a meeting from your bed, or the bathtub since nobody can tell where you are.


The backgrounds disguise your perhaps modest abode. Virtual backgrounds were immediately popular and continue to enjoy heavy use. With this setting, items in the background are sort of visible, but blurred enough to be impossible to make out. Zoom introduced a modified option in 2020, the blurred background. With a click of the button, you can transport yourself to a ski lodge, or a stylish Chicago apartment. You can have planet behind you, or a beach with gentle waves, or a camel walking in the desert. One of the most exciting parts of Zoom and other platforms is the ability to use a virtual background. So let me offer one piece of advice: show your real background. Still, it is quite clear that virtual communication will remain a big part of our world for a long time to come. Managers and executives are just now going to meetings, traveling to visit customers and attending in-person discussions. Front-line workers have been on the job throughout the pandemic, delivering packages, cooking meals and repairing engines. The business world is slowly emerging from the COVID lock-down.
