Be Prepared For Your Next Video Conference

Staying safe and healthy during the current Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic is important. That is why many companies have decided to allow their employees to work from home.

Telecommuting is not a new phenomenon, as recent research from American Psychological Association suggests that more than 26 million Americans, about sixteen percent of the total US workforce, work from home. That number is definitely higher during this time.

There are tremendous benefits to working from home. Employees and gig works who work remotely avoid daily commutes, avoid workplace distractions, and fulfill family care responsibilities.

Important Meetings Conducted Online

Working from home does not exempt an employee from avoiding the necessary video conference or Skype sessions needed to properly keep teams in the same loop.

There is nothing more famous right now than the unexpected distraction for Professor Robert Kelly during his 2017 BBC News interview. As Kelly is responding to a question while being telecast live on the BBC, his children enter his home office that served as his television studio.

As cute as Professor Kelly’s children are, his kids don’t know the importance to what their father is doing. The other distractions in the background are also interesting. There is a map of the world hung on the wall, a bookshelf full of books, and a table and desk full of typical office clutter.

There is a lot of opportunity for individuals like Professor Kelly to look a bit more professional while conducting video interviews.

Custom Backdrops for Your Next Video Conference

Luckily there are easy solutions if you find yourself surrounded by a mess that you do not wish for your colleagues to see. DisplayStar designs, prints, and manufactures custom backdrops.

Retractable banner stands are one type of solution. You might be able to impress your boss by showcasing your company’s brand message or company logo.

You could have a custom wall backdrop of a cityscape, office space, or natural setting that not only looks fantastic, but can hide whatever mess you’d rather others not see. You can even have a green screen, and make your backdrop digitally.

If you really want to go bold or you have a larger space to fill, consider a custom back-wall. A custom Wave Tube display sets up in minutes, weighs only 20 pounds, and will help you look your best, and impress your co-workers, and maybe even leave a lasting impression on your boss for when review or promotion time comes around.

Pick A Style That Works For You

Here are a few styles that may get your creativity moving.

Look Your Best

No matter what, let your next Skype, Facetime, or Zoom video conference be an opportunity for you to look your best. This is not a time to show your colleagues that you’re behind on laundry.
