I have been enjoying 64k in zoom meetings since the lockdown started hope to be back up there again soon.

This does not work on all clients, Linux, Windows 7, and some with older graphics cards.
I got the update pushed yesterday on a windows 7 machine. I didnt see the folder for backgrounds until I actually applied one while on a video chat for the first time. Then i could add my own.

UA actually put out some Zoom backgrounds ( although I don’t see why they couldn’t potentially be used for other video conferencing tools).

https://hub.united.com/upgrade-zoom-...645610091.html

Realize few on this thread would want any of these, but I only mention it because I’m somewhat surprised other carriers haven’t picked up on this idea.

This pic works brilliantly if you crop it to about half height (just tried)!

I only posted a lower resolution version, but can update a higher one if required.

The background you choose for online meetings says a lot about you... and doesn't always impress in the way that you think it will.

Keep it simple and professional.

Forget the background - invite a llama or farm animal to the meeting instead.

With this much sought after Upper Deck 747 seat you will be the envy of all your friends. (As long as all your friends are on FT)

It actually says more about the people who are judging you based on a background to a meeting.
