  Awesome post by @aaronpk on how to improve audio and video quality for remote work for the different price ranges.
  
  Really cool to see what to do when you have some cash to invest. I will be sure to use it when the time comes. 😁

  OK, so @OReillyMedia just laid off their entire conferences team–by email–and I can't help but remember being laid off with many others *while on duty as cmgr at @FluentConf.*
  
  Between their treatment of people and embrace of DRM, I'm done giving ORM my business and content.

  with @zoom_us 's new video background feature, i can stay engaged and nodding thoughtfully, even when i'm not even in the room -- this is the kind of innovation we need!

  This has been the best distraction I’ve had all week.

  
  

  So jealous! I didn't have time to finish the drywall on mine so i just hung a roll of paper and am choosing very careful camera angles 😂

  There has been a lot written about the various applications that allow you to connect online. However, not much about improving the audio and visual quality. The only thing I wonder about is a portable green screen to mask the background? Do you have any thoughts on that?
  

  Definitely an upgrade! https://youtu.be/omE4wQlj0xQ
  
  Tho Zoom's virtual backgrounds do an okay job without a greenscreen. Nothing I'd use on a recording but fine for a meeting.
