The Best Zoom Backgrounds are Books (An Easy Project To Do)
They make people curious about you and your personality
Having seen thousands of Zoom backgrounds, the best ones have bookshelves. The lines create uniformity and balance to an irregular shape foreground, formed by your head and body.
Setting your camera straight and head-on, makes you look more flattering, just like in photos where up the chin photo shots can add extra unnecessary pounds. Use the depth and length of the room (not ceiling) to provide nice perspectives.
If you want a good Zoom background, use your home library or setup some books on shelves.
Books are interesting to anyone, as people are curious about what’s on your bookshelf. You open up your world to others about your reading tastes and what books have inspired you on your path of discovery.
Even if a viewer doesn’t love to read, they find your selection interesting as your books say what you are curious about without you saying anything, similar to the effect of, “a picture is worth a thousand words” (and books add many more words).
From your books, people get a sense of who you are without having to read your profile or first visiting your branded internet page.
