Look at the Camera, not the Screen. Often you get the feeling in Skype calls that the person on the other end isn’t paying attention. That might be because they aren’t, but it is sometimes because of the lack of eye contact. They are looking at your image on the screen, not at the camera. Jan 08, 2018 Using a virtual background with Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams #Skype4B, #MicrosoftTeams January 8, 2018 Fabrizio 2018, Skype for Business In the past days I have been thinking about a solution to have a “neutral” background to use during Skype.

Greenscreen (aka chroma key) effect with a webcam?
I've been using Skype since its inception and think it's the greatest of tools, however I have a challenge I need guidance with at this time:
I have an international seafood trading and brokerage business, and we use Skype video whether we've at home, in a hotel room, the bedroom, the bathroom, the office, in a restaurant, or at picking up the kids at day school and this doesn't lend itself for a very professional background. I need help and suggestions for a virtual background which we can use successfully with Skype video regardless of where we are and keep a very professional look - nothing funny or silly like you would see with iPhoto.
This needs to be incorporated whereby, when signing on Skype video, the background might show our logo or a harbor scene with our logo, etc.
If anyone has any ideas of how we can simply incorporate a virtual, not physical, background we can use when video conferencing with customers, suppliers, co-brokers, logistics providers, bankers, etc, this would be a huge help.
