Having a work from home option is a huge advantage during this pandemic, especially since stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders are still being enforced. This is why video conferencing and online meetings among companies are now the new norm. If you're one of those who have such a set-up but feels like your home still needs some TLC and it’s not cut out for formal meetings, we’ve come up with a collection of modern homes and scenic locations you can use on your next Zoom meeting.
These video backgrounds are perfect if you’re already tired of Zoom’s pre-set options—like the generic outer space scene and the Golden Gate Bridge—or if you just want to try something new and fun. Give these backgrounds a go and transform your home or location instantly! With all the fears and anxiety surrounding us now, a little levity could go a long way especially when we’re connecting with others!
How to Change Your Background on Zoom
Choose your favorite background photos and save them to your desktop. Then, on Zoom, click Account Settings. Navigate to the Virtual Background option on the Meeting tab and verify that the setting is enabled. Click “Virtual Background” then press the plus sign to upload the photo of your choice. It will show up as the mirror image, but you can choose to turn it off if you'd like. These scenes look pretty realistic (just don’t move around too quickly!) and will add some fun during those virtual meet-ups.
