🎨 How well does my Video Conference background rate?

Do you like to carefully craft your background or are you a plain white wall type of person?

🎨 How well does my Video Conference background rate?

It’s 2021 and video conferencing became the new normal. That does not mean that there isn’t a fashion police for background.

Do you prefer to keep an all white background? Or do you blur? Or you simply don’t care?

Ross Simmonds post on Linkedin pretty much explains why, Room Rater gained so much following lately. In his own words:

Never underestimate what a simple idea can become.
If an account dedicated to room ratings can grow to 300k followers, anything is possible.🚀
Don't cut an idea until you try it because you never know.

Here’s a best of from the last days:
