There are a lot of pros to Zoom meetings: You can wear pajama pants, you can mute yourself so no one hears your music in the background, and you can even turn your video off if you’re having a bad hair day. But there are also a lot of headaches. Whether your laptop video camera only works half the time or your microphone cuts out with every other word you say, the Zoom struggle is real.

To make your WFH life easier—or to help you get by in a socially distant office—we’ve curated a list of products that will make your Zoom experiences a little more enjoyable. Zooms may not always be as easy as in-person meetings, but at least you’ll be able to (momentarily) forget that you’re not sitting in the same room as all of your favorite coworkers.

1. Logitech C270 Webcam; $53

This budget-friendly webcam from Logitech is perfect for a simple camera that still gets the job done. The Logitech C270 is designed for high-definition video that, at 30 frames per second, has the ability to self-adjust to its lighting conditions, making nearly any room suitable for a Zoom call. The camera also has a noise-reducing mic that will allow your coworkers to hear you even if your background is on the noisy side (You: 1. Barking dog: 0).

2. Logitech Pro Webcam; $149

If you’re doing nothing but Zoom meetings these days, you might want to try the Logitech C920 Pro. The model offers a 78-degree field of view and a 1080p HD picture that will ensure your image is crystal clear and wide enough to allow your unruly cat to make an appearance without interrupting too much. The Logitech C920 also sports two mics—one on each side—and has a frame rate of 60fps, making it an ideal choice for live video.

3. Saicoo LED Desktop Lamp; $90

If you want to look your best during your Zoom calls—even if you’ve just rolled out of bed—you’re going to want some good lighting. This Saicco LED lamp has a touch-sensitive panel that allows you to easily control color temperature and brightness. It’s also built with a special light reflection feature to reduce eye fatigue. The Saicco lamp even has a built-in charging port, so you’ll be able to hop off your Zoom and onto a conference call without ever needing to check your phone battery.

4. Ubeesize Ring Light With Tripod Stand; $40

For a great light that doubles as a phone stand, you’ll want to try this combination tripod and ring light from UBeesize. This set comes with three different lighting rings—warm light, cool light, and day light—which can all snap directly onto the tripod. You can adjust each ring to 11 brightness levels, and the set even comes with a remote for your smartphone that can turn your camera on without awkwardly having to adjust it before a presentation.

5. Shure MV5 Digital Condenser Mic; $100

You’ll feel like an old-timey radio host (and not just like you’re running through your weekly update with your boss) with this digital condenser mic from Shure. The microphone has a custom-tuned microphone to provide high-quality sound, and it has both iOS and USB connectivity to make it easy to link to whatever device you’re using. There's also a Shure app that syncs with your microphone for easy recording, editing, and sharing afterward.

6. Logitech Noise-Canceling Headset; $50

A headset is a great solution for improving both sound and speaking quality, especially if you do more phone Zooms than video. This model from Logitech lets you easily adjust the volume or mute the microphone via its in-line audio control button, and it even has an LED indicator light so you’ll know whether you’re actually on mute during a meeting. These headphones are designed to cancel out any outside noises, but you can also easily adjust the microphone to muffle sound on your end, too (which makes it great for when you're snacking while chatting).

7. Ubeesize Phone Tripod; $14

UBeesize’s portable tripod will ensure your Zoom game is always on point no matter where you are. This tripod is built to last, with flexible legs that are reinforced with a rubber coating, sturdy foam, and nonstick feet.

8. Comfilife Gel-Enhanced Seat Cushion; $33

Whether you’re working from home or commuting to the office part-time, many of us are sitting a lot more these days. To make your Zoom meeting feel more like a trip to the spa, a memory-foam seat cushion may be just what you need. This cushion is ergonomically designed to reduce pressure on your tailbone and improve your posture with each use. You can double up your back support with an additional lumbar support pillow, so you can sit up nice and tall for every meeting without discomfort.

9. Fictional Map Wall Art

For a Zoom backdrop that’s much cooler than a green screen, hang up a map from your favorite novel or video game for a look that’s both stylish and personal. Many of Redbubble’s maps are custom-cut or custom-made to ensure that they’re high quality, and some also come with tools or materials to help with framing. The independent artists over at Redbubble have maps inspired by The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Zelda, and more, so no matter what you’re into, you’ll be able to bring a little pizzazz everywhere you (virtually) go.

With posters for locations like Cote D'Azur, the Adirondacks, Amsterdam, and Chicago, your new wall art will make you feel like you’ve spent the last few months on vacation (even if your longest journeys these days consist of walking from your desk to the kitchen and back again).

11. TIJN Blue Light Glasses; $16

Looking alert during meetings is always key, but it’s especially important during Zooms. Give your eyes a break with these blue light glasses from TIJN.

Earlier this year, the World Happiness Report named Finns the happiest people in the world for the third year running—and to celebrate the launch of their new Finnish course, Duolingo partnered with the website Very Finnish Problems to find out which words make the people of Finland happiest.

A thousand Finns submitted words. Those submissions were shortened to a list of the 20 most-mentioned words, and after that, more than 69,000 Finns voted to choose the top 10. Here’s what they decided.

1. Söpö

The winning word means “cute,” and you’d use it to describe something incredibly adorable—think a baby or a tiny kitten. "I think the reason it won is because it sounds very soft and very typically Finnish with a double-ö," Joel Willans, founder of Very Finnish Problems, said. To pronounce it, purse your lips as if you’re saying “oooooh.”

2. Pupu

This word, which means “bunny,” can also be used as a word for a loved one. "It has lovely connotations in addition to sounding cute," Willans said. To say it, pucker up your lips into kissing position; it’s pronounced sort of like “boo boo” or “poo poo,” sans the long vowels. You can hear Willans pronounce it here.

3. Lumi

Lumi means snow. According to Willans, "It is quintessential to the whole Finnish life experience; it's pure and pristine, and brings light to the dark days of winter. Lumi means you can do so much: you can play with it, ski in it, sledge in it. Also, it probably has happy childhood connotations to the vast majority of Finns." It’s pronounced “loomee,” without the long vowels.

4. Mökki

The Finnish word for “cottage,” usually one found in the woods or by a lake. It sounds just like the kind of place where you could be happy, and make happy memories.

5. Lämpimämpi

This Finnish word, meaning “warmer,” is one of Willans’s personal happy words. “Not only is it beautiful how it rhymes, it’s very satisfying to say,” he said in the video announcing the Duolingo contest. And in a place where the temperature once reached a teeth-chattering -60.7°F, “When anything is warmer in Finland, this is a reason to be happy and celebrate.”

6. Pumpuli

Finnish for “cotton wool”—another word that makes sense, given Finland’s cold climate.

7. Äiti

The Finnish word for “mother”; you can hear how it’s pronounced here.

8. Jompikumpi

This word, meaning “one or the other,” is another that’s simply delightful to say: It’s pronounced a bit like “yompi-koompi.”

9. Jäätelötötterö

We’re not even going to try to tell you how to pronounce this one, which combines the words for ice cream (jäätelö) and cone (tötterö) to make, you guessed it, “ice cream cone.” You can hear how it’s pronounced here, or you can listen to players on the Chicago Bulls try to pronounce it in the video above while their Finnish teammate Lauri Markkanen cracks up.

10. Järvi

Finland is known as “The Land of a Thousand Lakes,” so it makes sense that this word, meaning “lake,” would make the list. As Visit Finland explains, “Finns feel certain closeness to the element of water, and it is a source of livelihood for many.” Fun fact: There are way more than 1000 lakes in Finland—the actual total is 188,000!
