Zoom has become the perfect ally for those of us doing home office so here’s a list of some of the best virtual backgrounds for your meetings

Lately, using Zoom has become a trend during this confinement period and it has us all entertained with virtual backgrounds. It’s clear that most of us are at home, except for those who must to go out to work. But for those of us doing home office, Zoom has become the best tool to work remotely and even have dynamic personal “get-togethers.” Right, home workers?

Moreover, as we all know, this video conferencing platform allows you to pick your background for each call. This makes the meeting more exciting, especially when we can’t physically change scenaries. However, in the virtual world, we have no limits.

In fact, some brands and entertainment companies have joined the trend by sharing some images. For example, SpongeBob’s Twitter account, Moulin Rouge and Pixar all have backgrounds with scenes from the iconic films.

How to change your Zoom background?

It’s super simple and once you do it, you won’t stop changing it! It’s best if you have a green chroma, but if you don’t, a solid background of the same color will suffice. You can check out the steps here or follow the steps below:

  1. Sign in to your account.
  2. Create a meeting or join an existing one.
  3. Click on “Choose virtual background” next to the video camera icon.
  4. Select the image you want.

And voila! You can now interact with your custom background. Remember that the settings may change depending on the version you use (mobile, desktop, or PC/Mac)
