Video Conference Backgrounds You Can Use on Your Next Virtual Meeting

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 feel 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.
 

Home office/Workspace:

Two home office backgrounds: one with a wooden bookcase and records, the other with a bright white desk and hanging plants.
 

Living room:

Two furnished living rooms, one with a dining area and striped rug, the other with large windows and a fireplace.
 

Bedroom:

Two staged bedrooms: one with a teal accent wall, the other with large windows overlooking autumn trees.
 

Kitchen:

Two kitchens, one with white cabinetry and a stone island, the other with navy cabinetry and a wood island.
 

Mini library:

For your virtual hangouts and full-on Zoom parties:

In this time of social distancing, work isn't the only thing we’re using Zoom for. It’s also best for your group hangouts, online parties, virtual happy hours, and more! So download these party-ready backgrounds and have fun while catching up with your loved ones and friends.
