    YOU WORK FROM home and you've mastered the art of the Zoom meeting, right down to the way you dress, even if it's only from the waist up. But while you may look good, it isn't always easy to make sure that your background looks classy and free of household mess.

    Several companies and designers are stepping forward with free backgrounds that anyone can use for their virtual meetings.

    "Some people have no choice but to take their video calls in the most uninspiring spot in their house because that's where their wifi works best - so a virtual background can cover up any ugly spots," says Santhi Tunas, co-founder of local fashion label Binary Style.
