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.
Good point. It was very messy.
Ya but as soon as you adjust your seat the background bleeds through for a few seconds
Anytime I see that it makes it obvious the person is trying to hide something. I assume you’re a slob if you do that. Or ridiculously paranoid(considering you’re already showing your face).
It says you know it’s disgusting and embarrassing AND you are willing to live like that. The only effort you will take to solving it is throwing a digital sheet over it.
Or maybe someone just thinks it looks good and would rather not show their bedroom to the entire conference…? And that’s a problem… Why? Because you think the inside of their bedroom is everyone’s business and they’re mentally unwell for being more comfortable with a blurred background?
Please refrain from sharing your opinions when the only contents thereof are hate towards another individual for something which helps that individual feel more comfortable while effecting absolutely no one in any way whatsoever…
Like someone else said, the edges break through. We can tell a light blur to obfuscate your tidy room from a complete screen change that breaks occasionally, revealing your mess. It’s not that well hidden.
I always have a custom background on even though my room is tidy. It’s just that our bed is directly behind me and I don’t particularly feel like showing everyone our bed, even though really it’s harmless. It’s just a privacy thing, not something to hide mess.

And you’ll still forget the dildo on the shelf
I hid it in my popcorn bucket
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
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.
Basically me during the pandemic lol
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.
😂 🤣
