You can use ANY image for your Zoom background

My workplace uses Teams which also allows for custom backgrounds, but I’ve found it to be far more delightful to use Snap Camera as a camera filter for my meetings. That way I can present myself like this:

Does anyone have Max Headroom’s ‘room’, either as a static or loop?

(edit: without Max in it)

Set this up for my wife for her sports team wine meeting. The non-green screen setting gives a nice glitchy effect and was dramatic when I popped my head over the laptop screen from behind. A large disembodied head floating upside down beside my wife.

It only half works on Linux, so if your background isn’t monochrome it’s choppy. But you can pick a background color and apply the image to it, so that’s fun too. Yesterday I had the windows as snow banks and pine trees. Today I had our office, which was a little spooky tbh.

I am probably the only person going ‘ooh Ballet Zoom!’ on the original post featured image…(late 70’s/80’s Spanish disco troupe, a bit like Hot Legs they danced on TV pre music videos, but became stars and performers themselves and released some good tracks).

I think it was them dancing behind that nuts Una Paloma Blanca clip? If it’s strange, Spanish TV, dancing and 70’s it’s usually them.
