I miss this British/Irish "Bob's your uncle" saying. .... It used to be
family joke^2 ... While we had uncle Bob.

On a related note - those green screen replacement backgrounds look pretty
weird in the conference calls with all sorts of artifacts around people's
hair, ears, clothes.

The artifacts I actually fixed in OBS with some good lighting and using both 
chroma key and color key. if you you just one or the other you get that uncanny 
valley if you use them layered together one catches what the other misses. But 
that starts getting into Im doing lots of work, why.


Those artifacts aren't always due to the green screen. One of the new features is image recognition which looks for a "human" in the video feed and cuts out the background. But since humans come in all shapes and sizes it has a tendency to either over/under estimate the area occupied by the person.


I saw some funny Teams fails where someone would hold up a cup of coffee and entire body parts would go missing. In one case someone took a sip from their mug and their head was completely cut from the video.



I personally find it better if people just display static photo - if they
really feel that they must be seen with some nice background and cannot
just tidy up their room.

Just my 2c, T
