Same here. It's particularly interesting doing video hearings with High Court Judges and Masters.
I took quite a long time making sure my background is presentable. As long as I remember to shut the door in my home office, so no-one can see the scenes of devastation behind it.
One problem was getting my webcam at the right angle - perched on top of the monitors it was too high as my monitors are on arms which bring them up to eye-level. I solved that my repurposing a desk lamp I hadn't turned on for over a decade. Before and after:

One silver lining of lockdown for me is my view into people's houses. I have come to realise I am an inveterate nosey-parker. I can barely concentrate on what zoom people are saying as I am so interested in what is around and behind them. It is particularly excellent that most people seem to spend zero time curating how they and their backgrounds appear, even when they are going to be on telly.
