Trait inferences from first impressions are drawn rapidly and spontaneously. However, the Covid-19 pandemic forced interactions online introducing differential influential factors on first impressions. As such, there is an absence of research investigating video background on videoconferencing impression formation. This study explored the influence of video background, facial expression, and gender on first impressions of trustworthiness and competence. Video background affected trustworthy and competence perceptions with Plants and Book backgrounds scoring highly on both dimensions while the Home and Novelty backgrounds consistently received the lowest ratings. Happy faces were perceived as more trustworthy and more competent while female faces were also rated as more trustworthy and more competent, regardless of the background they were using. The explanations for these findings are discussed, along with future directions for research and the implications for videoconferencing use.

When it comes to virtual meetings, do the same norms around appearance apply? Is one background preferable to another? What attire should we wear? Do certain clothing colors translate better via webcam? Does anyone actually care? In a recent survey, the authors discovered that most people do have preferences about type of attire and backgrounds. They share their findings: Most people care about the background behind you. Most people just want to see the room behind you; very few prefer the fake virtual backgrounds. Respondents cared less about your clothing, but it still matters. Neutral colors are preferable unless you’re trying to portray yourself as “innovative” and business casual is the safest choice. However, if you want to be seen as an expert, then go more formal.
