Yes there are portable green screens such as the Elgato Collapsible Chroma Key Panel which I talked about on the Live Stream Insiders show when it was first launched. I know a number of people in my network who use a green screen, but to ensure that is done effectively, it is not as simple as simply adding a green screen as your backdrop. You might also want to blur your background to maintain a level of privacy. The background blur feature from Skype uses artificial intelligence (AI). You can toggle the setting to blur your background when in a Skype call and your background will be subtly blurred, leaving you as the focal point. I mentioned on the Live Stream Insiders show earlier this month that Skype has introduced the ability to blur your background when using Skype on desktop. I know from many years of experience that the more you have to do to prepare for a live stream or video recording, the less likely you will be to do so!Įven Skype has recognised the importance of having a background that does not become a distraction to their audience. However, using a backdrop is not a flexible solution as you may not be able to leave it in place between live streams or video recordings.
Don t tell everyone, but previously he used a shower curtain that was printed with a design that reflected his brand. My co-host for the Live Stream Insiders purchased a large photo which he uses as a backdrop. You can purchase a backdrop and there are many available online. Ideally we all have a background that is ‘on brand’, but many people find themselves without the luxury of an area in their office or home that they can leave set up with lighting, camera, streaming software and which has a great set. I have watched professional speakers live stream and share recorded videos where the background in their office was so untidy, it detracted from their message and did not convey a professional image where you would be encouraged to invite them to tender for business. Only recently on an episode of the Live Stream Insiders, one of our viewers who works for a TV station in the US commented that they had recorded an interview with a potential guest, but the station decided not to air it on TV as the interviewee had a ‘messy’ background in his office. You might wonder why having a relevant and professional background matters?

Have you ever wondered how to achieve an engaging background for your live streams without having to go to the expense of installing a green screen or have a ‘set’ in a studio or your office that you can use for all your online live streams and meetings?
