Zoom and Skype in style with Hello Backgrounds

If you've been working primarily from home recently, you're far from alone. Despite some optimistic predictions that things would be relatively back to normal by now, most employees and freelancers have been forced to abandon their offices and set up shop in their humble living rooms, and it looks as though this is going to be the new normal for the foreseeable future.

But you don't have to give up your sense of professionalism just because you're working from home and connecting with coworkers and clients via video chats online.

This Hello Backgrounds: Videos & Images Package makes it easy to set the perfect scene for your Zoom calls, Microsoft Teams chats, and Skype meetings thanks to over 300 stunning video and photo backgrounds, and it's available right now for over 55 per cent off at just $39.99.

Maintain privacy during video calls

With Hello Backgrounds, you'll be able to completely alter your perceived environment while you connect with people online – making it incredibly valuable for at-home workers who want to hide the details of their home and maintain a semblance of privacy during video chats and online calls. 

Thanks to a wide selection of custom backgrounds that are fully compatible with Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Skype, Hello Backgrounds allows you to digitally transform your living room or home office into everything from a boardroom and a traditional office to a study room or even a vacation spot. You'll be able to fine-tune each background to match your intended environment thanks to four resolution modes, and a 16:9 aspect ratio is perfect for streaming video on your laptop. 

This subscription also grants you unlimited access to all updates the moment they're released, and you won't have to worry about unsightly or distracting watermarks on your background images whenever you broadcast. Don't let your professionalism suffer just because you're forced to work remotely for the time being. 

Usually priced at nearly $100, the Hello Backgrounds: Videos & Images Package will help you completely alter your background during online video calls, and it's available right now for just $39.99 – over 55 per cent off for a limited time.
