When on a video call, your background is important. This means, if you’re on the job hunt, virtual communication skills have become a necessity. With the current covid-19 crisis, many companies are only conducting interviews remotely, through apps like Zoom, Skype, Google Hangouts, and Microsoft Teams. Whether it’s your company’s office or the Oval Office that you’re putting in the picture, virtual backgrounds are a great way to lighten the mood.
By now you’ve likely seen co-workers, friends, or family members testing out virtual backgrounds in Zoom meetings.
