Pictures say 1,000 words, some say. So that must mean video can say … (does maths) … a lot more. We know how much people love changing up their backgrounds on Zoom. That’s why we made the library of specially made New Orleans themed backgrounds. But hey, video can be even more impressive, and we snatched up a few special video backgrounds to make you feel the bright sunshine and not have to be out in the oppressive NOLA heat. This helps especially when the termites begin swarming because gross.
