Looked like Bert and Ernie with shirt and tie with the audience sequestering them. Just a bad PR set up.

Generally any time there is a Zoom (or whatever) type of call, the background and setup is very carefully chosen to make a statement. I believe the statement here is "business being approachable"...hence the ties, but no jackets, the somewhat relaxed atmosphere and the (I think deliberate) angling of the camera. They didn't want to appear "too lawyerlike" with full jackets etc., so went for a more easy-to-relate-to appearance.
Whether it was appropriate or whether it worked in their favour or not is a debate.
