Here is an idea. Make a video of yourself wearing a face-mask with a simple single color background and no distracting objects. Have a little bit of head movement. 60 seconds should suffice. Convert that into a looping animated gif. Set that gif as your video conference background. Put tape over your camera so that all people see is the background.

Someone on my team actually did that, so far I'm the only one who noticed. I privately asked him about it, we shared a laugh.

I'm no narc, tho :P

He's also got an animated background that appears from time to time of himself walking into the room, seeing himself on a call, and slowly backing back out of the room and closing the door back behind him. That one always gets a chuckle from attendants who notice it and realize it.
