Try these professional backgrounds for your next Zoom, Meet, or other video call

Whether you work in an office all the time, some of the time, or no time at all, we still spend much of our work day on video. The key to making your video presence consistently polished is a professional virtual background. When you use mmhmm’s presenter overlay with your video meetings, you can choose from a variety of professional backgrounds designed to complement your style, without having to upload anything to your video platform and without using a green screen.

Why you should use professional virtual backgrounds

Picking the right virtual background for a team meeting, a client call or an investor pitch is the video equivalent of selecting the right outfit for the day ahead at the office. The right Zoom meeting background can do more than just obscure the room you’re in; it can also inform the first impression you give at the start of any meeting. A professional background for Zoom, Meet, Teams, or any other video call platform should help you do these things:

Minimize distractions. Whether you’re working from a messy home office or dialing in from a coffee shop, using a background can project a sense of calm and professionalism so your audience can focus on your ideas—not on what’s happening behind you.

Build your personal brand. Your background can reflect your style and personality. Choosing a background that matches your brand’s signature colors can help your audience remember who you are.

Set the tone for your conversation. Think about what you want to achieve when choosing a background. Open with an airy, light design when you want to break the ice with new clients. Choose a dark background to keep the focus on your content.
