At the start of the pandemic, I had been already working from home for about six years and was very comfortable with the video meetings.

The majority of the company was new to it though, and they were doing video calls for the first time due to offices temporarily closed for the plague. When I attended some meeting outside of my usual group it was a revelation for many that you could have fun with it.

Most didn't know about having custom backgrounds, for instance.
Screen shot of me video conferencing with my face largely obscured by the hood of my bath robe, and the background from 'this is fine' comic with the house on fire etc. This screen shot was shared in company chat with others that hadn't been in that meeting, with the person sharing saying "This is how you do video conferencing."
