You’ll all be amazed by how much nicer your office space will look.Īnd, if you’d like me to design you your own “custom office backdrop' with your personal style preferences, I can certainly do that for you for you.

If you like what you see, please share this with all your family, friends and colleagues. NOTE: Please check that your system requirements allow for Zoom Rooms before you make a purchase to avoid potential disappointment. There are some really beautiful designs in there. My office backgrounds are shown below and listed within the eDesign Contest by my name Val Malnar.Įven if you don’t want to purchase, check out the entries for fun. There is absolutely no pressure to participate, but I would be ever so grateful for your support to win this contest if you're in need of an office background. The designer with the most downloads will also win a prize. I’m a member of the eDesign Tribe and the platform is hosting a Zoom Room Challenge. Each designer will get paid $8 for every background that they designed and is purchased by the end of Friday April 17 th. So to help ensure we all have gorgeous looking office spaces, I have, and several other designers have, designed a ton of office backgrounds for you to choose from for your meetings! If you’re embarrassed about the space you have to conduct your professional meeting out of, do I have a treat for you!!!!ĭid you know that Zoom allows you to upload an image as a backdrop for your video call? Yep, they do! You can upload an image of your choice to use instead of your real background. Although, we’re all in the same boat and we “shouldn’t worry about what other people think about our unsightly space, it doesn’t change the fact that we do. Many of us are working from bedrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, closets, or if you’re like me, an actual office that you haven’t had the time/money to decorate properly yet. While Zoom has made this situation so much more convenient, in some ways it’s actually increased stress levels because it allows people a view into our private space. If you’re like me and you “get” to work from home, you’re probably keeping in touch and conducting meetings with colleagues via some sort of video conferencing software like Zoom. It’s challenging for sure, but really it’s a privilege.

And, for those who are working from home, this new-normal might feel overwhelming as we try to work, home-school our kids and still try to be a good parent and spouse. Life's pretty different for a lot of us as we head into week-4 of the quarantine.
