Create my ideal teams background

Teams background for David

Welcome to my brain!  I'm always thinking, "what if," "how would this work/sound/look?," "is there a better way to do this?"  For today's idea, I asked Coppy (my nickname for copilot) to create a teams background for me based on what it knows about me, and here's the results.  I then asked Coppy to create a prompt so my friends can do the same thing for themselves!  Here's a copilot prompt for you:

Create My Ideal Teams Background

I would like you to design a custom Microsoft Teams background that visually represents who I am.

Before creating the image, analyze everything you know about me from our conversations, including:

  • my profession
  • my responsibilities
  • my hobbies
  • my interests
  • my certifications
  • my technical skills
  • my strengths
  • my creative pursuits
  • my personal projects
  • what motivates me
  • how I solve problems
  • what makes me unique

Do not simply create an office.

Instead, imagine my ideal workspace, workshop, studio, laboratory, command center, library, creative space, field site, or environment based on who I am.

The image should tell my story through objects, equipment, architecture, tools, projects, and surroundings.

Design Requirements

The image must be optimized as a Microsoft Teams background.

  • 16:9 landscape orientation.
  • Leave the center foreground visually open so my webcam image can occupy that space naturally.
  • No foreground desks, tables, chairs, laptops, or objects that would visually intersect my body during a video call.
  • Position interesting elements around the perimeter and background.

Visual Storytelling

Show evidence of:

  • the work I do
  • the things I build or create
  • the skills I have developed
  • the subjects I learn about
  • the projects I care about
  • my personality

Use visual cues rather than signs.

For example:

  • tools
  • books
  • blueprints
  • instruments
  • software
  • machines
  • artwork
  • equipment
  • prototypes
  • diagrams
  • displays
  • collections

Text Handling

Avoid visible text whenever possible.

Do not create:

  • motivational posters
  • signs
  • slogans
  • quotes
  • banners
  • AI-generated lettering

Instead use:

  • diagrams
  • schematics
  • flowcharts
  • engineering drawings
  • visual displays

Style

The environment should feel believable and authentic.

Do not create a fantasy version of me.

Create the place I would actually dream of owning, building, working in, visiting, or spending time in.

The goal is that someone who knows me would immediately say:

"That workshop/lab/studio/office could only belong to that person."

After developing the concept, generate the image.
