Quarantine Photo

Okay... Quarantine has been hard on us all. We all want to see our friends and family. This fun quarantine photo can make it seem like you are together again. First, go to Zoom. (I think you could also do it on any other video call app that you can have a virtual background) Then invite one of your friends to the call. Have one of you take a screenshot of the other person on one half of their screen while they are in active speaker view, like this. We used our stuffed animals.

Now, have the other person (the owl, in this example) go in front of a solid colored background and set your virtual background to the photo of the other person. Arrange yourself in front of the camera so you take up the other half of the screen, making sure you are the same size (change this by backing up or getting closer) and that you look like you are next to each other. Have one of you double tap on the person with the virtual background so they are fullscreened, it can be either of you, and take a screenshot. You can then crop the screenshot until it doesn't look like it was taken in zoom. Make sure you send it to the other person! In the end, it should look something like this:

Have fun with it! You can try as many different poses and faces as you want, and you could maybe even try more than two people in it! Hopefully this was a fun thing to try, and made you less bored and lonely.
