Zoom away the gloom this Autumn NOT very long ago if you’d said you were going on a Zoom meeting most people would assume that drugs were involved. Now, we all understand this useful form of tech communication and Zoom is used by a surprising cross-section of people – from groups of friends to boardroom chief execs. The fact that it’s free is also a major plus for everyone. However, if you have Zoomed in recent months, you’ll know just how distracting people’s home backgrounds can be – and how competitive it’s now become to have the best. While some choose an office, a pleasant living room, a bedroom or even (on fine days) the garden for their Zoom meetings, others have opted to create a virtual background of palm trees gently wafting in the breeze or other sunshine vistas. There are even companies now which will design your individual background especially for you. My favourite is still shelves of book – some of which are recognisable and a useful additional guide to the personality of the Zoomer. Personally, I’ve got a large collage of family photos on my background wall but am considering a tropical virtual backdrop to cheer up all my Zoomees. Of course, I could also complement this with a suitably impressive outfit. And, as I only have to worry about showing my top half during online meetings, it could be as exotic as I like. Mind you, I’m not sure how fellow businessmen and women in my networking group would take to that. It could certainly take Zooming to a whole new level!
