What does your Zoom background look like?

What does your Zoom background look like?

A question that has probably been asked by many throughout the last year. A question that once again became relevant with Melbourne in strict lockdown for the last two weeks.

For me, it became especially important when I moved house a few months ago. There were many questions that came to mind. Where would I place my desk? What would I want my clients to see? Where would the lighting come from?

After going through a few options, I ended up with quite a simple solution, which has resulted in quite a few compliments, including being referenced to looking like Charlie's Angels lair!

As you can see from the pictures above, if I would have set up my desk logically I would probably have the desk positioned so that the clock was in the background. Instead, I decided to spin it around to embrace the beautiful natural light from the window. The natural light gives the 'halo look' without actually needing to purchase a halo light!!

Whilst it may not be aesthetically pleasing for a home office to have a desk positioned this way, it does make for a great Zoom background!
