It's a principal thing for me. My space is mine and work doesn't have a right to see into that. They aren't welcome in my home. Maybe I have a good office setup or maybe not. Maybe my home is clean today or not. It wasn't anybody's business pre-covid, and it remains nobody's business today.
- prmoustache 5y agoIs it so hard to have just one portion of wall with a neutral color in one's home office setup? I work in different part of my home, but I dedicate one small space for video calls, where I stand, not sit. It is designed to provide a plain background. If I didn't have a wall at my disposal I would have installed a white ikea roller window blind on the ceiling. It is much more effective than any blurring/background replacement algorithm. You choose to work from home, you choose to welcome work in your home. The good thing is you still have the liberty to limit and design the small part of the home you are welcoming your coworker's in.
- _ph_ 5y agoAssuming that you have a home office setup. Me, I have been working for 2 years from my dining table.

Nor are you willing to purchase or make a simple backdrop. Which seems to be accurate, and in my opinion rightfully creates a negative impression in their minds.
