As for fading in and out of the background just avoid wearing brown colors, as those are the most likely to meld with the background and cause the floating head affect.

This is my background:

yeah definitely avoid wearing any brown tones when sitting in front of this screen, otherwise you'll end up showing up as a floating head.

Hey where'd you find my family picture at?

Twenty years ago I worked remote from an office in our milking parlor. Luckily we didn't do video, ha. The office was nice but there were times when I looked a little shitty, literally.

Hidden message --> A STICK UP HIS ASS

I can see it now, Dennis on a video interview with prospective employer, right at the midpoint the pups start getting rowdy and knock over the background scene on top of him, and he ducks, hits his head on the 'puter and loses his connection! Ooops! COTTIN' PICKEN RAZZLEFRATZEN PUPS!

Or the one in oilfield offices for Nipple Up

Used to be that you'd find tool company calendars in most any shop and tool room.
Knew a guy who ran a car repair business out of his garage. His wife had an office and on the wall behind her desk was a sign readin' "Shirt and shoes required, bra and panties optional" that got lots of smiles.

Hidden message --> A STICK UP HIS ASS

I really didn't need to know that...

For interviews, the backdrop is an accent not a distraction.

How about this?

Zoom can do virtual background, but you can almost always tell when someone is using it. Especially if the real background is busy.

 

[Dennis Olson]

Zoom can. AS I SAID ABOVE, GoToMeeting CANNOT.

I'd just paint a 6 foot wide section of wall gray.
Hang a black and white picture of Linus Torvalds.
And put a small table behind me with a couple of O'Reilly books

Am currently planning on my gr grandmother's quilt so need to find a quilt rod display for it.

there are some gorgeous shower curtains out there now, simply slide over on a curtain rod for a work zoom morning meeting.

kids are using them for prom photo backdrops now too

you can search galactic, game of thrones, potter library, lord of the rings, medieval fantasy, endless options

I like a subtle Celtic Cross imagery
