Zoom has a feature that allows you to add a virtual background to project a more professional feel when you are Zooming and videoing from home. Having your bookshelves behind you doesn't necessarily achieve this but this feature does not work on all computers and devices. Another option available to you is to create a background with a Green Screen. Here I explain to you what a Green Screen is and the advantage of using it as an alternative, what you will need and how easy it is to set up.
Below, also, are some related links including other useful videos and the equipment I used.
