Why Office Backgrounds Matter for Virtual Meetings


A well-chosen virtual background serves as a visual cue that sets the tone for your interaction. It communicates professionalism, minimizes distraction, and reinforces brand identity—whether it's a weekly check-in or a major client pitch. Backgrounds like Tokyo, Vancouver, or Brooklyn from our All Backgrounds collection deliver clarity and polish across any video platform.

Pro Tips for Using Virtual Backgrounds Effectively


  1. Match your backdrop to the meeting context Use formality and branding cues to guide your choice—formal themes for clients, softer setups for team syncs.

  2. Ensure proper lighting Light your face evenly and avoid strong backlighting to prevent glitches.

  3. Logo placement If you’re part of a branded organization add your logo for brand awareness.

  4. Test before the meeting Check your framing, adjust brightness, and ensure no one merges into the background.

  5. Use consistent backgrounds for key roles Sales teams or HR hosts should consider one branded background for recognition and consistency.
