28:28 Closing remarks and call for listener feedback
- Zoom backgrounds should have adequate lighting from the front
to avoid creating hot spots or shadows that can distract during
meetings.
- Plants and other natural elements can provide a refreshing
contrast to the technological environment of a Zoom call, making
the space feel more welcoming and balanced.
- Avoid using fake Zoom backgrounds as they can create visual
distractions and may give an impression of insincerity, hindering
the opportunity for genuine connection.
