Virtual Backgrounds
Your space, kept private.
Comment enseignez-vous ?
Not everyone wants their bedroom, kitchen or family on camera, and some students switch their camera off rather than show it. Virtual backgrounds let teachers and students blur or replace what’s behind them, any time in the lesson.
Teaching from home shouldn’t mean showing your home to every student. Blur your background or pick a scene, and your students can do the same, so cameras stay on.
Students who are embarrassed by their room turn their camera off, and you lose them. Each student can blur or replace their background, so more cameras stay on.
Participants joining from hotel rooms and kitchens would rather not show them. They blur or replace their background in a click and keep their camera on for the training.
In the room, nobody needs a virtual background. It matters only when someone joins by video, such as a student at home, who can blur their background instead of switching their camera off.
In the room, backgrounds don’t come up. When a colleague joins by video from a hotel room, they can blur or replace their background before they appear on the big screen.
When your child learns online from home, you may not want the house on camera. They can blur the background or choose a scene, and change it any time.

The problem
Home on camera keeps cameras off
Teaching and learning from home puts bedrooms, kitchens and family members on screen. Some people are uncomfortable showing their surroundings, so cameras go off and lessons lose their face-to-face connection.
La méthode habituelle
People point the camera at a blank wall, hang a sheet behind them or simply turn the camera off. Teachers lose sight of the students who most need to be seen.
How Pencil Spaces solves it
Device-optimized virtual backgrounds that can be changed at any time during a lesson: blur, preset scenes, or import your own.
Quels sont les changements ?
Privacy at home. Teachers and students keep their surroundings to themselves, and cameras stay on.

What it looks like
Dans la pratique
A student joins from the family kitchen. She blurs her background before the lesson starts, keeps her camera on and her teacher can read her face the whole time.
In a 1:1 lesson
You teach from a spare room full of boxes. You pick a calm preset scene, your student sees a tidy backdrop, and you never think about it again.
In a group class
A student who always kept his camera off starts using a background blur. Now you can see when he’s confused and call on him at the right moment.
In a virtual training
A participant joins from a hotel room during a work trip. She imports her company’s background and keeps her camera on for the whole training.
In your classroom
A student isolating at home joins your lesson by video. She blurs her bedroom behind her, keeps her camera on and stays part of the class discussion.
In the training room
A manager joins your workshop by video from his kitchen. He switches to a blurred background before he appears on the big screen at the front.
At home
Your son’s lesson starts while his little sister is playing behind him. He blurs the background, and the teacher sees only him.
