Use Zoom video backgrounds as sure-fire icebreakers

If you thought photos were the ultimate Zoom virtual background, think again. Zoom video backgrounds are the perfect way to start a conversation with colleagues (and add motion and finesse).

Zoom video specs and best practice

• Videos have a maximum resolution of 1920×1080.
• Make sure your video background is just that — a background. A little bit of movement is nice. Too much and it’ll be distracting.
• Use videos that have a static camera and limited background movement. Nature (beaches, mountains, forests etc) and abstract animated video backgrounds are perfect for this.

Free zoom background images for your next call

Use one of these low-key office backgrounds to get you started. They’re all free to download.

Variety is the spice of life, and the same can be said for your Zoom backgrounds. Working remotely, it can be easy to forget that people will be staring at the same wall behind your desk every day.

Zoom’s virtual background feature does away with the need for green screens to superimpose a background behind you. With the magic of technology (and don’t ask us how) everyone can upload a clever, hilarious, calming, or nostalgic background to their video calls.

Jump onto your next Zoom call with a brand new office background. Or a classroom background. Or the oval office. Or space. Or a screengrab from your favorite film. The options are limitless.
