OMG I should have them rate mine! I bet I'd get docked because the wall behind me is too bare and not enough depth. Maybe I'll take a photo later.

They gave this lady 8/10 but I really like it!

I was considering that, but decided not to after seeing that some of the people who have them have problems with limbs or ears periodically disappearing during Zoom meetings. It's very distracting to be talking to someone whose ear or shoulder keeps getting cut off and then coming back again.

I had a meeting with a male student, short hair cut so his ears stick out, and for whatever reason, his right ear kept coming in and out like a blinking light. It was actually rather disconcerting.

Here's my Zoom room:



At minimum I probably need a plant in the back corner... could be tricky though to get one there.

From reading the guy's comments, if you want the points, get the piano in the background and ditch the printer.

Well, as nice as a piano always looks, I'm not moving my office into the piano room! I'm ok with it looking like an office. But I do think the wall seems kind of empty and I'd love to have a plant in the corner....

Yikes! I was hoping for some useful suggestions, but w/ the exception of the first point, the entire thing relies on purchasing more expensive equipment! VeryAngry

I'll stick with trying to get a plant. suave

Our iconic Boston antique bookshop has pivoted. (You can see Ken Gloss at times on Antiques Roadshow)

You can order a custom designed collection of books for your Zoom background. Big Grin

Clever pivot. Yes
