What do people see on your Zoom?

Now that we're all working from home, we're seeing more of people's homes. What do people see when you're on screen? When I'm on zoom, people see my race medals, and depending on the angle, a book shelf filled with yarn for knitting.

Two needy dogs who seem to always know when I open Zoom!

I like the Zoom backgrounds, especially the one on a beach with the waves breaking over the sand.

When I am on a Zoom call, people see my cheerful burnt orange curtains, and, some Christmas lights that I never bothered to take down. I agree that we need Christmas lights right now:-)

Sometimes people just see my crazy toddler running around. While it can be a headache, I try and laugh about it because this is what it is right now!

I think all of us are learning to laugh at these moments.

nothing, i shut my video off. I am not attractive and definitely not photogenic and having to see myself is too depressing and distracting to me. I leave my audio on and it's good enough.

I've thought a lot about your comment before responding. I am very sorry that we live in a world where this matters. My hope is that some day, you become more comfortable being on video. I believe that in this time, it does make a difference and being on video matters. Good luck!

I love this! My background is a painted (and very colorful) three-wheeled vehicle called a tuk-tuk. It's a popular form of transportation in Thailand and something about it just brightens my day.

Hello Megan, Your comment about the tuk-tuk in your background brought back happy memories of my time in Thailand. In fact the Covid-19 pandemic has made me extremely grateful that I did not put off travelling. Given all of the travel restrictions we have right now, I am glad I can return to faraway places in my mind at least:-)

I've ridden in a tuk-tuk. Didn't know the name however.
