Elevating Video Calls with Custom Background Assets

In today's remote work landscape, video calls have become a ubiquitous part of our daily routines. To enhance the visual appeal and branding consistency of our video meetings, we've introduced custom background assets.

The Need for Customization

Generic backgrounds can be distracting or lack a professional touch. By providing tailored background images, we aim to:

• Reinforce brand identity during meetings.
• Create a more visually engaging experience for participants.
• Offer a touch of personalization while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.

Design and Implementation

The custom backgrounds feature a neo-brutalist design, aligning with our established visual style. Key elements include:

• A prominent company logo.
• Branding colors and typography.
• Both normal and horizontally mirrored versions to accommodate different camera setups.

For example, a basic background image might be created as follows:

<div style="background-color:#f0f0f0; width:1920px; height:1080px; display:flex; justify-content:center; align-items:center;">
  <img src="logo.png" alt="Company Logo" style="max-width: 300px;"/>
</div>

To create a mirrored version, the image can be flipped horizontally using CSS:

.mirrored {
  transform: scaleX(-1);
}

Usage and Availability

These background assets are designed for use with various video conferencing platforms. Users can simply download the images and upload them as custom backgrounds within their preferred application's settings.

Key Takeaways

Custom background assets provide a simple yet effective way to elevate the quality and branding of video calls. By offering visually appealing and consistent backgrounds, we can enhance the overall meeting experience for both internal teams and external stakeholders.
