TL;DR: Get a lifetime subscription to XSplit VCam for just $19.99, a 59% savings as of March 29. 

If you’re navigating the transition from an actual office to your home, you’re not alone. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones and try to make the most of the shift. After all, you get to stay in your pajamas all day if you want. 

But while the business world has slowed down, it hasn’t stopped completely. And that means you still have to stay on top of things — like attending meetings. The ability to attend a work meeting from your couch is pretty awesome compared to a stuffy conference room, but there’s definitely a downside. You have to make yourself and your surroundings look presentable (at least from the waist up).

That’s where the genius XSplit VCam comes into play. Instead of letting your co-workers, or worse, your boss, see your disorderly home during video calls and meetings, XSplit VCam replaces and blurs the background of your video. It basically acts as a green screen, without you actually having a green screen, and allows you to hide the mountain of dirty dishes surrounding you (among other things).

You’re given the option to upload JPEGs, GIFs, or PNGs for the background of your choosing, and it transforms your webcam to a DSLR thanks to its adjustable blur slider. Plus, it’s compatible with just about every video chat application you use – Slack, Skype, Discord, Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), and yes, of course, Zoom. That means you can also use it to record vlogs, live stream video games, or throw Zoom parties with your friends.

Usually, a lifetime subscription would cost you $49.95, but it’s on sale for over 50% off. Sign up now for just $19.99 and trick your colleagues into thinking you have your shit together.
