I set up a simple green screen in my home office using an appropriately colored green blanket I bought at Walmart for $7. However, there are less expensive options. These solutions work well and are a good choices if you’re using them enough to warrant the time and expense. I know some folks who painted an entire wall green or purchased green screen backdrops. If you use the Zoom built-in virtual background without an actual green screen behind you, your audience will likely see your head warp as you move. You can slightly blur your photo for a more realistic look. Instead, go with a simple background, such as a solid color with your company logo or an uncluttered photo.Ĭanva or Snappa offer Zoom templates that you can easily customize. But if you want to look professional, ditch the unrealistic and distracting views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the fun but silly palm trees blowing in the wind.

Green screens can provide a layer of privacy if you don’t have an attractive home office and they can be professional looking when done correctly.
