自从社交距离准则成为常态以来，Zoom和Skype会议越来越受欢迎。企业使用它们与员工举行远程会议，许多学校正在远距离上课。
当然，进入全数字世界并不会改变标准行为。人们仍然想在会议和课堂上偷懒，无论他们是通过Zoom、Skype还是面对面。
在Zoom(Zoom)会议中很难伪装注意力。毕竟，由于它的“注意力跟踪”功能，视频服务可以在你不注意的时候向你告发。如果您在“缩放(Zoom)”窗口之外单击超过半分钟，它就会出现问题。
对这个想法不满意？也不是很多用户。自2020 年4 月 1日起， (April 1)Zoom已删除该功能。但是，您仍然可能因离开屏幕而被逮捕，因此您可以通过以下方式在Zoom通话中假装注意。
如何在Zoom中假装(Zoom)注意(Attention)
如果没有注意力跟踪功能，Zoom用户的注意力水平只能通过他们参与通话来衡量。例如，您的老板可能会喋喋不休地谈论最新的数字，或者您的老师可能对与课程无关的事情产生了分歧。
上厕所的最佳时间，对吧？如果他们注意到你走了，就不会。值得庆幸的是，有一种简单的方法可以让您看起来像是在房间里，即使您已经起床做三明治或从冰箱里拿饮料：您设置为背景的循环视频。就是这样。
首先，下载适用于Mac或Windows的(Windows)Zoom应用程序。下载应用程序、创建帐户并登录后，单击屏幕右上角的个人资料图标，然后选择设置。(Settings.)
选择录制(Recording )，然后确保单击优化 3 rd方视频编辑器(Optimize for 3rd party video editor)。查看(Review)视频录制的存储位置，因为您稍后需要访问它。
从这里，导航到背景和过滤器(Background & Filters )选项卡，然后选择虚拟背景。(Virtual Backgrounds. )在底部，您将看到两个选项：我有一个绿屏(I have a green screen)和镜像我的视频。(Mirror my video.)默认选中镜像我的视频。(Mirror my video)如果您有绿屏，请选择该选项，以便Zoom可以正确解释。
如果您没有，请考虑从具有纯色背景颜色的区域进行流式传输。它还有助于尽可能减少视频中的无关运动，例如吊扇或其他移动物体。将它们保持在框架之外。
暂时退出设置菜单并转到主菜单。单击(Click) “新会议”(New Meeting)并将自己定位在您通常会参加会议的框架的中心。完成此操作后，单击屏幕底部的记录。(Record)
让视频录制几秒钟——5 秒是一个不错的时间长度——然后停止录制并单击结束(End)以结束会议。录音将被转换为MP4文件并存储在指定的文件夹中。
现在返回背景和过滤器(Backgrounds and Filters )选项卡，然后单击屏幕右侧的 + 号。单击(Click) 添加视频(Add Video )并导航到您存储的录制文件所在的位置。选择MP4文件并将其添加为背景。完成此操作后，您可以选择背景，当您选择站起来走开时，它将循环播放。
重要注意事项
但是，在执行此操作之前要记住几件事。确保(Make)录制视频中的时间与会议时间相匹配。您还应该确保您穿着相同的衣服。这些都是很容易注意到的事情。
如果您打算跳过会议，请确保在一天开始时制作循环背景，以确保所有元素都排成一行。或者，你知道，不要冒险，坐下来参加会议。
虽然我们不宽恕或建议尝试欺骗您退出会议或虚拟课程，但如果您觉得有必要这样做，这个技巧将帮助您完成它。参加会议的人越多，您越有可能侥幸逃脱。但是，如果您的屏幕上有很多焦点或注意力，则循环效果会更加明显。
坏消息是Skype不允许循环播放视频背景。这意味着除非你能拍出一张壮观的静帧照片，否则你将需要在Skype会议期间保持在场。
How To Fake Paying Attention in Zoom Video Calls
Since social distancing guidelines became the norm, Zoom and Skype meetings have risen in popularity. Businesses use them to hold remote meetings with thеіr employees, and many schools are conducting classes from afar.
Of course, going to an all-digital world doesn’t change standard behavior. People still want to goof off while in meetings and in class, whether they’re over Zoom, Skype, or in-person.
It can be hard to fake paying attention in a Zoom meeting. After all, the video service could notoriously snitch on you when you weren’t paying attention due to its “attention tracking” feature. If you clicked away from the Zoom window for more than half a minute, it tattled.
Not happy with the idea? Neither were a lot of users. As of April 1, 2020, Zoom has removed the feature. However, you can still get busted for stepping away from the screen, so here are ways you can fake paying attention in a Zoom call.
How To Fake Paying Attention In Zoom
Without the attention-tracking feature in place, Zoom users’ attention levels can only be measured by their involvement in the call. For example, your boss might be droning on about the latest numbers or your teacher might have gone on a tangent about something unrelated to the lesson.
Perfect time to go to the bathroom, right? Not if they notice you’re gone. Thankfully, there is an easy way to make it seem like you are present in the room even if you have gotten up to make a sandwich or grab a drink from the fridge: a looping video of yourself that you set as a background. Here’s how.
First, download the Zoom app for Mac or for Windows. Once you have downloaded the app, created an account, and signed in, click your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen and then select Settings.
Select Recording and then ensure that Optimize for 3rd party video editor is clicked. Review where the video recording will be stored, as you will need to access this later.
From here, navigate to the Background & Filters tab and select Virtual Backgrounds. At the bottom, you will see two options: I have a green screen and Mirror my video. Leave Mirror my video checked by default. If you have a green screen, select that option so Zoom can properly interpret that.
If you do not have one, consider streaming from an area with a solid background color. It also helps to have as little extraneous motion in the video as possible, such as a ceiling fan or other moving object. Keep those out of frame.
Exit the settings menu for now and go to the main menu. Click New Meeting and position yourself in the center of the frame where you would normally be for a meeting. Once you have done this, click Record at the bottom of the screen.
Let the video record for several seconds—5 seconds is a good length of time—and then stop the recording and click End to end the meeting. The recording will be converted to an MP4 file and stored in the designated folder.
Now return to the Backgrounds and Filters tab and click the + sign on the right side of the screen. Click Add Video and navigate to where your stored recording is. Select the MP4 file and add it as a background. Once you have done this, you can select the background and it will play on a loop when you choose to stand up and walk away.
Important Considerations
A few things to keep in mind before you do this, however. Make sure the time of day in your recorded video matches the time of day of the meeting. You should also ensure that you’re wearing the same clothing. Those would both be pretty easy things to notice.
If you plan to skip out of a meeting, make sure to make your looping background at the start of the day to make sure all of the elements line up. Or, you know, don’t take the risk and sit through the meeting.
While we do not condone or recommend attempting to trick your way out of a meeting or virtual class, if you feel the need to do so, this trick will help you accomplish it. The more people involved in the meeting, the more likely you are to get away with it. If there is a lot of focus or attention on your screen, however, the looping effect is significantly more noticeable.
The bad news is that Skype doesn’t allow looping video backgrounds. This means that unless you can pull off a spectacular still-frame photo, you will need to stay present during Skype meetings.
