Backgrounds for Zoom, via The Public Domain Review


I've begun tinkering with this blog, as I ponder Learning To Share all over again.
It appears that currently I have the time.
Finding that many of the old sidebar links have 'gone to seed', some pruning,
some re-arranging and updating has yielded some fun new discoveries.
For example:

'Public Domain Backgrounds for Zoom', a free offering from The Public Domain Review
(which I found via the martin klasch blog).












(Find more backgrounds at the Public Domain Review blog page.)

This is a time when many people are learning more about video conferencing.
I know I've been doing a lot of compare and contrast 'test-drives'.
Playing with virtual backgrounds can be a fun thing to monkey with, especially if you have either the right blank space or a green screen available behind you when you appear on your webcam.

You can go to Zoom's virtual backgrounds support page to learn more about system requirements, set-up, trouble-shooting, and also how to make your own virtual backgrounds.

(That's where I discovered that my operating system is not up-to-date enough to support virtual backgrounds. Setting up actual, non-virtual 'backdrops' for my video calls has been fun, too.
I can recommend playing with that as you figure out how to best present yourself.)

Welcome back! I STILL get email from people who saw my Orchids of Hawaii Bartenders Guide shared in 2007.
