(Note: we’re going to reference Zoom a lot in this piece for simplicity’s sake, but of course this advice and guidance is applicable to all video chat apps.) That might seem shallow, but human beings are visual creatures, and our brains immediately size up other people based on visual cues.

That means Zoom meetings are here to stay, and with that in mind, we’re here to guide you through an official curation of the perfect Zoom setup, because the blank white wall isn’t going to cut it anymore. And even when life goes back to normal (whatever that means), trends are pointing towards a hybrid, flexible work model where some days are spent in the office and some at home.
