Whether you’ve been working from home for ages or it’s your first time using Zoom from your living room, it helps to dial in from a beautiful place. That’s not always possible, and we’re all making due in our own ways right now, so we’re sending some virtual love to you with 10 downloadable backgrounds—each of them curated to bring peace and calm to your next videoconference call.

How to Change Your Background on Zoom

In Zoom, look for the gear settings in the upper right hand corner and click. A bar will appear with the words “Virtual Background.” Click, then use the plus sign to upload your photo. You’ll seem as if you’re dialing in from a zen garden or a peaceful art gallery—as long as you don’t move around too much, which can cause uncanny glitches. Whatever happens, remember that we’re all learning as we go. If there was ever a time to embrace imperfection, this is it.
