Virtual backgrounds are indispensable in video conferences, even today in 2025. Especially in the professional environment, they offer numerous advantages, from protecting your privacy to presenting your company professionally. In this article, you will learn how to use digital business cards as virtual backgrounds, what tips there are and how to make your meetings even smarter.
What is a virtual background?
A virtual background hides your surroundings and replaces them with an image or design of your choice. This is especially useful in video conferences: the software recognizes the outlines of your head and body, so the background looks realistic. Thanks to tools like Zoom or Microsoft Teams, you can select standard backgrounds. With oneVcard, however, you can create personalized backgrounds that include your company logo, your name, and a QR code. This QR code links directly to your digital business card.
Digital business cards and their advantages
Using a digital business card as a virtual background increases the visibility and professionalism of your company. Here are the main advantages:
- Matching aspect ratio: Consistent backgrounds in corporate design strengthen your brand image.
- Privacy: Your personal environment remains hidden. It doesn't matter whether your employees are in their home office, on the train, or in the office.
- Quick contact capture: Participants can directly save your contact details via the QR code.
Especially in large meetings or at virtual events, you can efficiently draw attention to yourself and your company.
