Why this is important
Video meetings can become boring quickly because we do so many of them. But not only that—video calls can go wrong in various ways. Once, I aligned my camera in FaceTime (desktop app) so that my room wasn’t visible. When the call started, all went okay up until when suddenly my webcam caught a much wider viewing range. Not only was my messy room visible, but also a whiteboard with sensitive information!
In this short guide, I tell you several ways to avoid mistakes in video meetings and teach you how to make them more effective and fun.

5 professional virtual backgrounds: 1x for creative brainstorming, 2x for "neutral" meetings, 1x for a coding session or a meeting at night, 1x for a bug-fixing get together
24 city virtual backgrounds from the US, Germany and Switzerland.* It’s nice for the other video call participants to see your city and get a feel for where you are to build rapport. It can be a great conversation starter to talk about landmarks that aren’t well known, especially if you don’t live in a “famous” city. So, we added a compilation of lesser known landmarks from certain cities.
A tutorial on how to turn your CV into a virtual background! Do this, and your interviewer will be impressed by your preparedness and creativity.
