＜New Partner Facilities Announcement – April＞
As we are currently unable to travel, we’ve decided to bring our HafH Network to you!
For almost all of us, the spread of COVID-19 has meant that we are stuck in our homes and unable to leave except for essential reasons. A lot of people are also working from home/ remote working for the first time too!
To try and make working at home a little bit more fun, we’ve been creating and sharing HafH original virtual backgrounds that you can use for your online meetings.
This time, as an extra edition, we’ve created online meeting backdrops using photos from several of the latest facilities to join HafH this month.
By using these virtual backgrounds while you work from home, we hope that you feel as though you’re traveling around our network.

【What is a virtual background?】
A virtual background allows you to display an image as your background during an online meeting.
【What are the merits of using a virtual background?】
① Privacy
When you’re in an online meeting, whatever is in view of that camera is going to appear on screen. Using a virtual background is a great way to mask whatever’s around or behind you, and give you a little bit of privacy.
Didn’t have time to clean up? That’s not a problem if you use a virtual background.
② Improves your on-screen presence!
Using a virtual background allows your face to stand out more clearly. Furthermore, having clearly different backgrounds helps you to distinguish each participant in the meeting more easily.
③ Online meetings become a little more fun!
The great thing is that you can choose a background that suits your style, or something stand-out, and this often helps to break the ice at the beginning of a meeting. You can also choose a background that ties in with the purpose or theme of the meeting!
