yacht zoom background

Covid19 , Work From Home , Zoom - April 22, 2020

Working From The Boat

The start of the sailing season may have been postponed by the Covid19 lockdown, but whilst we carry on following Government guidelines we've started adding custom Zoom backgrounds to our work calls so that we can at least imagine we're out on the water! Here are our favourites we wanted to share with you. Today I am working from the nav station of a Volvo65 :)

How to use:

(Note: this works best when used in combination with a green screen background, but a plain white wall will also work)

- Save your favourite boat image from the selection below (these images are all designated Free To Share and Use under Google Image Licence)

-  To enable the Virtual Background   feature for your own use:

• Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
• Click  My Meeting Settings , if you are an account administrator or  Meeting Settings ,   if you are an account member.
• Navigate to the  Virtual Background  option on the  Meeting   tab and verify that the setting is enabled.  Notes:
• If the setting is disabled, click the Status toggle to enable it. If a verification dialog displays, choose  Turn On to verify the change.
• If the option is grayed out, it has been locked at either the Group or Account level, and you will need to contact your Zoom administrator.

To enable virtual backgrounds for your Zoom Rooms:

• Sign in to the Zoom web portal as an admin.
• Navigate to the  Zoom Rooms page and click  Account Settings .
• Toggle the  Virtual Background with Greenscreen
• Click  Upload Image to add more background choices to the default library.

And finally, where we all want to be: out on the water. As soon as possible. This one make a great backdrop for Zoom calls when you have high contrast clothing on (for example a black tshirt)

We let our customers speak for us:

Awesome! Super fast shipping from the UK to AUS

This life jacket is so light and noninvasive that I forget that I’m wearing it. I highly recommend it!

We received our 170N life vests within two weeks of placing our order. We live in Texas and expected shipping from the UK to take longer. The vests are comfortable to were while on deck. My wife and I are leaving Galveston in April for our years long cruising life and I purchased these life vests because we are expecting to be on watch alone at various intervals. We both clip in our tethers and use jack lines when necessary to go forward while underway.. Neither of us has ever fallen overboard and this is our greatest fear while underway. This vest appears to provide the best possibility for survival if one of us fall overboard while alone on deck.

Great industry leading product, speaks for itself! Amazing service from the Teamo guys too. Quick responses to email queries, great communication, perfect customer service. Very happy customer. Would highly recommend! Thanks guys!

Hoping I never need to use it in anger but so far satisfied with the product. Fits perfectly, feels lighter than previous version and just love the colour.. ! Initially I didn’t know who to direct my emails to .. but once I found a contact communication ran smoothly.

Boat Backgrounds For Zoom Meetings

Updated: Apr 6, 2023

We found this tweet on Zoom's Twitter profile that features a photo from the Zoom booth at Enterprise Connect 2017.

It got us thinking about some good boat background options for Zoom calls.

Most of us probably never happened to take a picture similar to the background above — square to the stern and with no people in it. But then again, you may have the perfect picture in one of your albums.

If you're looking for a boat background for your next Zoom meeting, what are some available image sources? We looked around and found some of the images below.

We also created an image using generative AI.

A Note on Green Screen Use

Zoom likely used a green screen or another consistent-color backdrop in the above image. While Zoom backgrounds do not require a green screen, using one can help with the overall appearance.

If you wanted to get fancy, you could order a background stand and a green screen backdrop . The backdrop can be draped over a sofa to create an effect of you (and others) sitting on a boat's seat cushion (there's an example further down).

The following are several free and paid sources of photos that can be used as a Zoom boat background. Click on any photo below to go to its original source.

AH360 Photography

This South Florida photographer has a page with a number of high-resolution fishing boat wallpaper images that are free for non-commercial use.

The first image that caught our eye was this one:

This image from AH360 has a nice tropical feel:

Chris Craft

Chris Craft has offered up this background:

Unsplash is a free photo site. A background candidate for Zoom that we found this one of a wooden boat and its wake.

This picture was taken at Glacier Bay.

DepositPhotos

DepositPhotos is a paid stock photography service that we use for some of the posts on this blog. Here's a photo with an inset that shows how the effect renders in a Zoom meeting, using the draped green screen setup above.

iStock Photo

This is another paid stock photo service. We found this beautiful picture.

Here's a picture from iStock that was shot at Lake Tahoe .

Since we first published this post, generative AI came along and reduced the need for stock photography. Apps like Midjourney will create a custom photo-realistic image based on a prompt you type in.

Our prompt for generating this image was, "a perspective from inside a Malibu brand boat on Lake Tahoe, looking toward the back of the boat, a big wake coming off the back, the wake goes for 200 yards, mountains in the background --ar 16:9 "

We hope these image sources are helpful to you and enhance your presence on Zoom, Google Meet, and other meeting apps.
