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. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.This is the main screen of Zoom.

Please continue to stay safe, embrace the aloha spirit from your homes and keep your social connections strong. We have a hunch that your colleagues would rather get a glimpse of paradise than your living room. We hope they bring some feel-good-island-vibes to your next conference call. Until global travel restrictions ease up and life gets back to a new normal, we are so thankful for technology and video chat apps that allow us to stay in touch with friends, families - and of course, keep up on work.Īnd speaking of which, we’re excited to share some custom-made Zoom backgrounds with you. And while we sincerely miss welcoming guests to our island homes, we’re confident that there will be brighter days ahead. During this global pandemic, the world is taking a pause from travel.
