Not quite. Tricks are intended to make you believe something that is not true; in OP’s situation, the other people in the meeting believe that OP is sitting in the location that the background picture is taken from. They can’t actually see the background, however; instead they can see the photo of the background. Their assumption is correct, but the fact that they’re looking at a fake background means it COULD be false.
