Zoom, Teams calls get Dubai’s digital touch

All you have to do is select the digital scenery in your Zoom or Microsoft Teams call.. With the world's business ecosystem embracing a virtual environment due to the global pandemic and more people working from home, Dubai's Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism) has stepped in to help make remote communication and collaboration a truly immersive and positive experience.. In its latest initiative, the department is providing users of web and video conferencing apps the opportunity to download free images depicting the diversity of Dubai's offerings to create a customised digital scenery as their backdrop.. The range of destination images that can be downloaded and used as virtual backgrounds highlights the attractions and experiences that await visitors to Dubai.. Users can download the backgrounds and use them on platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Webex.. The department has also created a fun digital activity for families that allows children and adults to download colouring sheets featuring popular Dubai attractions.. Families and children can enjoy their time at home as they make use of their artistic skills to add their favourite colours to the beautiful designs depicting Dubai..
