Haha yeah. If it's a one-off zoom call, I'll use the background blur feature to avoid explaining anything. If it's someone I talk to regularly, it's whatever, it doesn't look _too_ weird.

Keyboard is a Dygma raise, chair is a zero gravity recliner (got it used off craigslist, but the patio versions you can get delivered for cheap are similarly comfortable).



I am also using a recliner, though my setup is nowhere near as refined as yours. It is just a big recliner, monitor on a desk in front of me, mouse on the arm of the chair, keyboard on my lap (which made me learn to touch type without realizing it).

I had a few comments about it when doing video calls, and they are usually positive. My gaming headset (Sennheiser Game One) also got a few comments, again, mostly positive. I mean, you are just getting yourself comfortable, and reasonable people understand that being uncomfortable is not the way to be productive.
