The key to effective video conferencing is to ensure that the intended message is delivered while eliminating or minimizing anything that distracts from that message. Your visual message is quickly diluted or demoted when visual clutter and distraction get in the way. Remember that the camera not only shows you, but also what is around you.The easiest way to focus your video conferencing and deliver a strong, clear message is to remove background distractions. Draper's Video Conferencing Backgrounds are an elegant and effective method to provide a distraction-free and immersive telepresence.Backgrounds should be incorporated into the standard work for any video conferencing application.
