We seem to spend more and more time logged in to back-to-back online videoconference meetings.
They seem to go on all day, without any respite, or breaks.
To make the long day online more bearable, add these gadgets to your office and makes those meetings as comfortable as possible so that your Zoom calls whizz past.
Brighten up your web calls with this light for your screen
The HumanCentric screen light mounts onto the back of your laptop or monitor. It is powered from your laptop using a USB cable. You can increase the brightness or the colour temperature so you have a warm glow, and use the diffuser to give a soft light to illuminate your face. A must to make the best of your home office.
Make sure you have the best air quality while you work
Quiet and unobtrusive the Proscenic A8 removes dust, pollen and smoke and will circulate the air into a decent sized room (up to 430 square feet) up to three times an hour. Likes its big brother the Proscenic A9, the A8 is whisper quiet in auto use with a boost feature to increase the fan speed.
It detects the quality of the air, and, in automatic mode, can adjust the speed of the fan to increase the purification levels. Works with the Proscenic app to schedule when to send the purifier into sleep mode, and when to dim the lights.
Hot and cold water within arms reach – all day
Have a constant supply of cold and hot water on hand all day with this dispenser that sits on a counter top and will give you enough hot water to make two cups of tea or coffee almost instantly. It will also dispense chilled water from its standard sized water bottle.
Never run out of power sockets with a power strip tower
If you run as many devices in your home office as I do, you will need one of these power strip towers to keep power to your devices all day. This 14-plug tower also has 4 USB slots and surge protection. The buttons have LED lights so you can turn on individual banks of four sockets to cope with the number of plugged in items.
Power – whenever you need it
An alternative source of power is a must to make sure that your business continuity is guaranteed. I reviewed the Bluetti AC50S in January 2020, and it quickly became indespensible during winter power cuts, keeping my broadband router, laptops, monitor, and mobile devices charged for the entire working day. Use this Bluetti power station to make certain that your all day videoconference does not fail.
blank out your background – or project your own
Create any office background you desire with a portable green screen for your conference. The screen is green on one side and blue on the other, and will stop your conference colleagues staring behind you and at your office background
