Google Cloud Certified backgrounds to jazz up your Meets, and a challenge :)

**update** We welcomed quite a few people to the certified circle this week, so I'm extending this challenge - it sounds like the best way to share is to screenshot yourself in a Meet with your background on. Also! Sharing yourself using this background in Zoom, Teams, or even printed out as a banner that is physically hung behind you also count towards a #CCGTeamBlue or #CCGTeamGreen victory.

Ok people, I'm going to admit it - my WFH space isn't the most exciting to look at. I was really, reeeaaalllly excited when Meet enabled custom backgrounds - not only do I have to worry less about my housemate needing to make a sandwich, I can keep things a little more interesting. 

To help you showcase your certified status and perk up your own Meets, we've made two backgrounds for you to use, one in green, and one in blue. We can't wait for you to try them out - feel free to share a picture on social media letting folks know you're #GoogleCloudCertified, and if you're #CCGTeamGreen or #CCGTeamBlue. Here's the challenge part - the team with the most representation by Sunday, August 8th (#CCGTeamGreen or #CCGTeamBlue) will get an extra bit of swag in their champion hue.

Happy Meet-ing!

Alrighty people, we've got 2 days left in our social sharing challenge ⏲ So far, it looks like Team Blue is ahead by a hair!

I am amending the original post as well, but we have an update: quite a few people were welcomed to the certified circle this week, so I'm extending this challenge - it sounds like the best way to share is to screenshot yourself in a Meet with your background on.
