What's your WFH setup looking like? (POSSIBLY IMAGE HEAVY)

Cleaned out the retro/spare/junk room for the only desk space in the house, cause it's rented and we don't own shit for furniture. Home browser and music control on the right, work on the laptop screen in the middle. Only way I can get it to work properly with my work VPN's desktop scaling. Room's still a tip, but it's cosy and I got lots of gaming history memories around me.
Placing your computer from work next to your home computer
You can see the office via these doors that close which is nice for calls:
I live for tabris posts
This is some badass shit right here.Here's my workdesk in my basement, in between my home theater and my gym/workout equipment behind it.
I've been working for the last 5 years though, so this lockdown doesn't change much for me though.
But my actual gym closed yesterday for at least 2 weeks :(
So now I have no reason to leave the house.
Started in my living room and just moved to the bedroom. At least I have a lot of natural light and good view
People get issued corporate/work computers that are separate from their personal computers.
If I'm going to be working from home for extended period, I think I'll need to invest in a better office chair. The one I have is fine and stylish, but would like to see if there are healthier options.
Any bang for buck recommendations on Amazon? Id prefer to get white or white/grey chair. I'm assuming a mesh back would be better for extended use?
EDIT: this what I currently have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E4MD9BM/

where do your legs go
I have a desktop that I use for recording music (its hooked into my audio interface) and then I have a docking station on top of that where my work laptop goes. I got a KVM switch for that to use the same monitors.
My phone sucks at panoramas, but oh well.
I tried working at the dining room table, and from the living room, but lack of monitors made it rough. I moved to my main PC desk to use its monitors, but there's a ton of stuff to distract me down here.

Cramped up to the left against the drawers until it annoys me enough that I clean the room out some more and find a better spot for it.
Same as my gaming setup. Attic office - keeps me nice and separated from the noise on the main floor.
99% of my job (when not in front of customers) is done over Teams and Outlook, with me primarily living in Excel. Pretty painless to work from home with a decent sized monitor and good headphones/mic.

And the people may also have a separate gaming PC.
Within three metres of where I am sitting I have a gaming PC, my Hackintosh, my MacBook Pro (which I use when traveling) and my work MacBook Pro.
nothing because my company keeps back tracking on their ideas and testing to figure it out. Hopefully by next week some things get put together.
holy shit that is epicMy phone sucks at panoramas, but oh well.

Oh and my mouse I use on iPad and surface book.
I also have a H3 Legendary Edition MC helmet watching over my setup. Also nice leak 😂😂

Stinkles how impacted have you guys been through this? All of 343 WFH yet?
Now a question to you and in general. Have you guys seen a reduction in productivity? From my end as a Systems Engineer for IAM Security at my company so far we have kept the ship pretty steady.
company and management have been great and fast but it's too soon to say. Personally it's been mixed for me - I've gotten a ton of backlogged writing done but in person stuff is challenging and we're adjusting work methods- so different disciplines are impacted differently.
We're extremely lucky to work at a company taking it seriously from the outset and with great infrastructure. I can't help worry about folks less fortunate.
Guessing Microsoft Teams is in hehehe.
Sadly where I work we are still testing MS Teams. So my team has been relying on Skype & Zoom still and have started using slack until we can get Teams going later in the year hopefully.
Just picked up an HP Z whatever monitor, got it delivered today from NewEgg ans it;s clearly one of the last models they had... sold out everywhere now.
My company has strict WFH until now where I'll likely be WFH until.... June... maybe? So wanted a good setup.
MS Teams has been good. I've been using it for a couple years but everything has worked really flawlessly the last 3 days. Great video + screen sharing quality, good audio quality. It's been great.

Fortunate enough to have a dedicated WFH office (working freelance kinda demands it).
It's hard though to keep it tidy, with all other interests kinda bleeding into this space... I did clean up a bit for this picture :P

I technically have 3, however only 1 for work. The other two are always video (iPad Pro) and IRC (7" HP tablet).
I find that if I have two proper screens plus the laptop screen (which is the in-office setup) then that's enough about 85% of the time. But there are definitely times where I'd kill to have an additional full-sized screen, because trying to read a 12" 1080p laptop screen isn't great fun.
Now we're all WFH I have to put up with said laptop screen plus a nice 1200p screen that's miles better than anything in the office, just a shame it's on its own. I find dropping from two full-sized screens plus laptop to one plus laptop is pretty grim and definitely hampers productivity. There are so many times when you just have to be able to look at two things side-by-side.
My setup.

You could have at least had Halo Infinite running on the TV in the background to tease us.
Can't wait to find out what happens with all that yarn when I finally get to play the game. The suspense is killing me already.My setup.

I need to clear off my one desk...
I never worked from home before, so I don't really have a spare monitor, so I had to rely on connecting my laptop to a 32inch flat screen TV.
I'll make something a bit more permanent tomorrow.

I use Duet so that my iPad Pro can be a second monitor - and a touch screen - it's surprisingly good. I wish there was a way to use it with an external HDMI source like a console. In fact it's been counfounding me for years that 99.9999% of tablets and laptops can't act as second monitors without some monkeypaw.
Duet annoyed me at first because of the cost and subscription antics but it really really works great. Latency is minimal and photoshop works great with Apple pencil weirdly enough. It's possible I'm forgettinng something important or am wrong, because I did a quick test blast on a day with a lot going on so I'm gonna double check.
I haven't really done a long WFH before (at most, it would be once a month) so I had to scramble to figure something out.
Usually I just keep my laptop on the kitchen table, but my wife doesn't want me there all day while she's stuck at home too.
And so, a makeshift WFH setup was born:

I really like this, especially the idea of having a couch and tv setup right behind the monitor.
But that distance from the M&KB to the monitor...
:P
How are you talking to us from 1995?
