Blurred background or green screen effects FTW

I had a coworker who thought she had a blurred background on when she joined a meeting and her room was fucking filthy. She saw her background wasn't blurred and was very embarrassed.

Filthy or messy? Important distinction.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Good point. It was very messy.

Ya but as soon as you adjust your seat the background bleeds through for a few seconds

My girlfriend takes time to make the room background nice and clean and make sure the lighting is good so she doesn't look reddish or too whitish or whatever.

People get judged even more over video now... Lols.

I never have my camera on. People whine a bit about that but it's worth it not having to be judged every morning.

I mean it sounds like they are judging you for not having camera on

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah lots of jokes about both people who look tired on camera, and comments from people about why camera is off. Should absolutely be up to the person and no pressure to put it on.

I remember hearing back during lockdown that sales of pants had tanked but sales of business shirts were as strong as ever.

Works well to have camera a few feet from the wall. There is less room on camera that way.

My spouse just uses a fake background. I won't even own a webcam.

I feel personally attacked.
