Yes, just be yourself at any staff meeting where you’d rather be at lunch. Also don’t grimace, smile, or show any emotions that indicate you want to participate. Don’t make any sudden moves, or strong expressions of excitement or agreement, that might cause your boss to notice you and ask for your opinion. While you need to make those small, subtle motions to appear alert and present, this is not the time to overdo it.
Make sure it’s the ‘I’m listening’ nod, not the ‘I agree we need to come in on Saturday’ nod. Blink your eyes, and slightly tilt or nod your head from time to time, to signal that you are indeed paying attention.
Zoom will indicate that it is recording in the upper-left corner (don’t worry, this doesn’t show up in the video itself). While looking at the camera, press Alt+R to begin recording, or click the Record button at the bottom of the window. Record your loopĬenter yourself in the frame. Use Zoom’s own recording feature to record yourself intently looking into the camera. From Zoom’s main screen, click the orange New Meeting button. We recommend that you always have the same background, so as not to tip off your boss, or simply use one of Zoom’s virtual background still images. To create our looped video we’ll use Zoom itself, which you can download for free from the Zoom Download Center. Of course we had to make our own Brady Bunch video for you.This is the main screen of Zoom. You can find all these colors to use yourself here! It was so much fun, we are tempted to give every meeting a new color scheme.
Leveling up our video meetings did not end there! As a team, we also love the feature to add your own backgrounds in Zoom and we did so to create this Brady Bunch feel for our team. These cards really came in handy in our video meetings when one of us needed to be on mute (because Jasper was chatting away in the background, or Emma’s english bulldog Winnie was snoring right next to her laptop…) but we still had something to say! Being able to hold up our “I agree” cards made life a lot easier! Sometimes a quick message saying “Great Idea!” is all you need to say! We think they would be great for teachers in online classes, work teams who are now communicating primarily over video conference calls, or family members who are trying to get Sunday chats organized while social distancing.
Showing one of these visual phrases will get a quick message across to your fellow video callers. The idea is that these cards will help avoid everyone talking over each other in the chat. These Video Conference Cards are handy for all kinds of zoom calls, whether you are in online classes or working from home.
