Find the best backgrounds and add some fun to your Zoom, Teams, Skype and Google Meet meetings

About Room for Zoom

Room For Zoom is a huge free collection of the best virtual Zoom backgrounds for use in Zoom, Microsoft Teams and other online meeting apps.

Why have co-workers critique your living area when instead you can have fun with a distracted boyfriend or girlfriend background , “this is fine” house on fire , relax with an inspirational landscape or beach background or highlight your favorite TV show such as Breaking Bad , the Good Place or Suits . There are popular backgrounds free to download from Batman and Gotham City , Star Wars , Top Gun , Pokemon Go , Sesame Street and more being added all the time. You can even pretend you are not using a background and hide clutter with a cool living area or a wall of books .

Our backgrounds are split into categories with previews and popularity gauges to help you find a great background to download quickly.

Not only do virtual backgrounds lighten up meetings which helps reduce meeting fatigue, they also help add a level of privacy when you are inviting people into your home.

With recent events, virtual meetings have taken off in a huge way especially with Zoom due to its ease of use. However other apps have been quick to make it easier to change your virtual background including Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Skype and Cisco Webex.

Having problems adding a background? Our guides will help. With Zoom the most common issues are either your Zoom software needs updated or the device isn’t up to it yet. Microsoft Teams has had virtual backgrounds for a long time however they were hard to add until recently. We will show you where to copy your backgrounds to have them appear in Microsoft Teams if you are using an older version. Skype and Google Meet also have virtual background options and we describe how to use these also.

We also list the image resolution of the cool image backgrounds. Zoom recommends an image background of 1920 x 1080 as this has a 16:9 aspect ratio. Seeing black bars beside your background image? It is probably because you are using a background image with a different aspect ratio.

A green screen, also known as a Chroma Key, is recommended by Zoom and there is an option to tell Zoom you are using a green screen however Microsoft Teams say they do not need this for their software.

A chroma key is a technique used in film, video and still photography and refers to having a solid consistent color that can be easy to identify by software so it can be replaced with a background image. The color does not have to be green (blue screens are common). It should ideally only be a color that is not likely to appear anywhere else (so if you want to wear a green T-shirt, maybe get a blue chroma key screen). A setting needs to be changed within Zoom to tell it you are using a green screen. Note that there have been complaints in relation to Zoom that the face-detection algorithm erases the faces of people of color.

Room for Zoom will keep getting updated with the best images, tips and ideas for your meetings so keep checking our website.

Do you know of a cool meeting background image? Use our submit form on our website to tell us about it. You can also find us on Facebook ( https://facebook.com/zoombackgrounds ) and Twitter ( https://twitter.com/roomforzoom ).

Virtual Background Tips

What is the best size background to use? Zoom recommends backgrounds with dimensions of 1920px by 1080px. This is a 16:9 aspect ratio. If you use an image with a different aspect ratio, you may see black bars beside the background image

Need to leave the room for a moment? Just cover over the webcam. It will allow viewers to continue enjoying your background.

Make lots of calls? Consider having a green screen behind you. It will really help the software. Or if you like to wear green sometimes or have green eyes, perhaps one with a blue screen as an option.

Before a meeting, try a test run. It will help you see if you are clashing with your background at all (e.g. the color of clothing or green eyes).

Dark hair and dark chair? It may mean that the chair may move in and out of frame at different times. You can help the software by placing something of a different solid color over the back of your chair, giving the software a better chance at differentiating between you and the chair. If you have dark hair you might stand out better with a light background (and vice versa).

Best Geeky Zoom Backgrounds for Virtual Meetings

Using Zoom can be much more fun than your average conference call. Here are some great geeky backgrounds for your next virtual meeting.

• Share on Facebook (opens in a new tab)
• Share on Twitter (opens in a new tab)
• Share on Linkedin (opens in a new tab)
• Share on email (opens in a new tab)

The spread of the coronavirus has forced many people to work from home and communicate via virtual meetings on Zoom and other free video conferencing services . While it turns out that virtual meetings are about as exciting as real-life meetings ( unless you’re planning to play games with your friends ), Zoom does offer one amusing advantage that makes them more exciting: customizable virtual backgrounds.

As far as the Zoom backgrounds available, there are tons of great ones to choose from, including more than a few backgrounds based on your favorite shows and movies. It’s actually possible to upload just about any background you want, but to get you started, we’ve highlighted some of the best geeky backgrounds that we’ve found around the internet.

Before we dive into the background, here’s a quick breakdown on how to upload a custom background image to Zoom:

• Go to the Zoom app’s settings menu.
• Choose the Virtual Background option on the left.
• Click on the Plus icon on the right side of “Choose Virtual Background”
• Upload your desired background image file from your device.

You can also swap between background images by clicking that Plus symbol again and choosing another background image file. Now, here are the best nerdy backgrounds we’ve found so far:

Game of Thrones, Westworld, and More From HBO

HBO got in on the Zoom background game fairly early on with this collection of favorites from the premium network. The Silicon Valley and Sharp Objects backgrounds are surprisingly subtle and all-around awesome, but nobody is going to blame you if you choose to sit on the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones .

It’s slightly disappointing that HBO didn’t dive deeper into its catalog for these official backgrounds, but you can always make a custom image that lets you address your co-workers from the front of a New Jersey pork store or the Gem saloon.

The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, and the Pixar Collection

The Pixar collection is not only instantly recognizable, but the crystal clear visuals of the best Pixar movies happen to make them the perfect candidates for Zoom backgrounds.

Thankfully, Pixar has already posted an official collection of backgrounds for your amusement. You can’t go wrong with The Incredibles background , and the Toy Story cloud wall background also works shockingly well for just about any situation.

Just be careful using that Up background. Times are tough enough without having to remind people of that movie’s opening minutes.

The Simpsons, Family Guy, and the Rest of the Fox Animated Lineup

Few networks have access to as many iconic animated series as Fox does, so we were thrilled to find that the Fox team has sent out some quality official images for your custom background.

The Simpsons couch is an obvious winner here that just about everyone will be able to appreciate, but we’ve got to send some love to those Bob’s Burger backgrounds. It’s just a shame you can’t change the name of the daily special on the chalkboard.

If only there were background images devoted to the many cancelled Fox series over the years. We need some Fastlane back in our lives.

DC Comics Is Offering Everything Awesome

We’re not going to get into a whole DC/Marvel thing right now, but we’ve got to give a special shout out to DC for offering some of the best looking official Zoom background images of any major company.

These animated stills are not only stunningly well-drawn, but they offer a variety of creative background scenarios that will instantly set you apart from your Zoom friends. I mean, just take a look at that awesome Gotham by Gaslight -style background. You also have to love the Fortress of Solitude options, which not only look great but are oddly appropriate right now.

Download DC Comics Zoom Backgrounds Here

Marvel Lets You Zoom into the MCU

Not to be outdone by the competition, Marvel posted a few official Zoom backgrounds on its website that offer you the chance to sit in front of a few different corners of the Marvel universe.

The bulk of these selections feature the MCU films, which is honestly pretty hard to complain about. Granted, it’s a limited selection of options, but the fact you get a few options from the colorful Thor: Ragnarok is good enough for now.

The two comic-style options are also pretty great, but we need some quality X-Men backgrounds ASAP.

Star Wars Millenium Falcon (and Pretty Much Everything Else)

Since it doesn’t seem like the Star Wars team has entered the Zoom backgrounds arena yet, you’re left relying on the many fan-made backgrounds that have already been created.

We’re particularly fond of the Millenium Falcon image you see above, which is not only clean and recognizable but also feels natural for conferencing purposes. We also highly recommend finding a way to put yourself in the Jedi High Council room or Emperor’s throne room. The cockpit of the Millennium Falcon is another good one.

Star Trek Options for Every Generation

At the risk of playing favorites, few series lend themselves quite as well to awesome Zoom backgrounds as Star Trek does.

From official collections that transport you o the world of Picard to unofficial options that take you to the original Enterprise bridge and Next Generation holodeck, the wealth of Star Trek backgrounds out there highlights the franchise’s incredible futuristic visuals and creativity.

Now, if someone could find a way to put us on the Enterprise video screen with the captain looking at us from the foreground, we’d be eternally grateful.

The Power Rangers Are Here to Mightily Morph Your Zoom Background

We shouldn’t be surprised that the Power Rangers have our back during these difficult times, but this official selection of themed Zoom backgrounds is still very much welcome.

This wave of official options mostly focuses on the old-school Power Rangers series, but since we all know that original Power Rangers are the best Power Rangers, you should be able to find something that you love.

We kid, folks. We kid because we love.

The Office Offers a Pretty Much Perfect Background

There’s actually quite a few Office -related Zoom backgrounds out there, but it’s hard to do better than this one.

The iconic interview background from The Office is not only an incredibly clever background for Zoom meetings, but it’s honestly one of the few that you could probably get away with using in an official capacity.

It’s that blend of nerdy and professional that you just have to love.

Download The Office Zoom Background Here

The Good Place Is Here with a Slightly Too Accurate Background

Much like The Office , there’s no shortage of Zoom backgrounds from The Good Place . However, in our hearts and minds, there’s really one option that stands apart from the rest.

That “Welcome! Everything is fine” background is one of the best we’ve seen for the current moment in our history. This one is so accurate and perfect that you might actually want to be careful with how you use it.

A Pee Wee’s Playhouse Background for These Tough Times

There are a few things we really love about this Pee Wee’s Playhouse theme. First off, it’s actually pretty well-framed for this format, which is always a subtle plus. It also features quite a few callbacks in a relatively small amount of space which, again, is a bonus for easter egg lovers. It’s also a wholesome and colorful reminder of childhood that will surely put a smile on anyone’s face.

Download Pee Wee’s Playhouse Zoom Background Here

Twin Peaks Offers a Background Strange Enough for Reality

We live in some pretty strange times, so it only makes sense that you might turn to a background that’s just as strange.

While we fully support any references to Twin Peaks , there’s something to be said for the strange serenity of these red room backgrounds. They’re subtle enough to fool anyone not in the know but recognizable enough to be easily spotted by the Twin Peaks crowd out there .

The only thing better would be you sitting on a couch that Bob is menacingly crawling over. Actually…could someone get on that?

Download Twin Peaks Zoom Backgrounds Here

Archer Backgrounds for When You Want to Be a Spy

For all of your espionage needs, why not download FX’s new Archer Zoom backgrounds that transport you straight into the office of the International Secret Intelligence Service? It’s perfect for strategy meetings or simply for some high-level office gossip. Just remember to clean up your desk at the end of the day. Leaving a mess is how you get ants.

Don’t see anything that suits your tastes? You can make a Zoom background by uploading any ol’ image or video. They just suggest you crop your image to match the aspect ratio to your camera. Not too bad, right?

To change your space to a virtual background, sit in front of an empty wall. If you, for some reason, own a green screen, this is made for you. Hang that baby up! If not, a plain wall will do. Then sign into Zoom, go to account settings, and then the meeting tab. Enable virtual backgrounds there. Get thorough, step by step instructions in Zoom’s help center .

Once you find and insert the perfect pop culture background into Zoom, we’d love if you’d share it and tag us. It’s a moral imperative. Plain and simple. Share it with us on Twitter or Instagram .

We covered the best office backgrounds for Zoom in this post. Here is a short list of funny zoom backgrounds that are sure to make you stand out in any meeting.

How to Enable Custom Zoom Backgrounds

You’ll need to enable any custom Zoom background you want to use in a call. Before we dive into the post, were’s how to add a custom Zoom background.

To do so, start by visiting the link under each image. Download the photo onto your device (don’t worry, they’re all virus-free). Once you’re done with that, head over to Zoom and click on your profile photo.

Proceed to the settings page and, in the left menu, click on the Virtual Background tab. Here, you can select one of the presets loaded into Zoom by default or upload the image you just downloaded.

The “Tonight Show” Set

Let’s face it: most of us have dreamt of – or at least tried to imagine – being a talk show host. We tune in most evenings to watch them liven up our leisurely hours.

The good news is that, to some degree, you can live out that fantasy. There’s an amazing Tonight Show Zoom background available for download. You can download this image using the method stated above and have it on all of your Zoom calls.

There are other Tiger King-themed backgrounds available for download on the internet besides this one. Just make sure to use the one best suited to your usual position in the video frame.

The “Schitts Creek” Motel

Schitts Creek is a funny comedy. It tells the story of an American family forced to live in a town they bought as a prank.

The show’s most important location is the Rosebud Motel. This is where the family lives for most of the show. If you’re a big fan of Schitts Creek, use an image of the show’s iconic location. It’s fun, even in the most urgent of zoom calls.

If you’re a Trekkie, then this photo is sure to get some unique reactions at your next conference call. It’s a classic image. The version above is high-resolution and will work well as a zoom background.

The Matrix Code Curtain

Everyone watched The Matrix when it was released in the late 90s. Characters like Neo and Morpheus were ingrained into all our minds and became instant cult heroes due to the movie. The most memorable part of the movie, however, is arguably the green code curtain.

It’s a series of numbers and characters representing the various characters jumping in and out of the “matrix” – a digital world where everything is seemingly possible.

Everyone will recognize this image in your next work meeting. A cryptic green screen splashed across your frame will be sure to amuse your colleagues.

Holiday Getaway

Everyone, at some point, looks for an escape from the dreary humdrum of the office lifestyle. Apparently, however, working from home has proven to be almost as monotonous. Do you know what isn’t monotonous? This fantastic holiday-themed Zoom background.

The Teletubbies Sun Baby

If you grew up in the Teletubbies era, then this funny Zoom background is sure to make people laugh on your next Zoom call.

Teletubbies is a kids’ show from the 90s that focused on the importance of family, friends, honesty, and character. The first scene of this iconic TV show started with the sun – which had a cute baby’s face on it – rising to greet the four Teletubbies as they started their day.

Zombie Apocalypse

With the pandemic slowly ebbing into our rearview, it seems like the world has just survived the same kind of modern apocalyptic settings depicted by Hollywood movies. In the spirit of irony, therefore, this scene of zombies strolling across a grass field is sure to draw some attention to your Zoom screen.

The Oval Office

Ever wanted to attend a Zoom call from the auspicious chairs of the White House’s Oval Office? Here’s your chance with this zoom background. 

Themed from real-life pictures of the president’s workspace, you can recreate that same appearance – or, at least, have a funny virtual background available for when you need it.

It doesn’t matter if the room is on the smaller side; just make sure you’re situated properly in the frame. Anyone can become the president if they dream it – even if only in a zoom meeting.

Laying on the Beach

Back to our holiday-themed background images for Zoom, and this one is sure to create a serene appearance in your next company call – and make your fellow coworkers laugh too.

It’s a simple beach scene with a cool wave heading to the shore, two people perched on their beach chairs, and a green umbrella protecting them from the sun’s heat. Who doesn’t want that kind of getaway?

The Family Guy House

Family Guy is one of the funniest shows currently airing. The iconic Griffin living room itself has etched its image into the minds of many kids and young adults alike. 

As more fans of the show enter into the (remote) workforce, there are few better ways to pay homage to childhood nostalgia than this well-framed background.

The Coffee Shop from Friends

Arguably the most recognizable coffee shop of all time, this Zoom background is equally funny (because of the show it represents) and memorable.

We’ve all watched friends – either in its original run or the multiple reruns aired by many of our favorite TV channels and streaming services. The six friends: Joey, Chandler, Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, and Ross, have all become cultural icons today.

The Casting Couch

While this photo might get you a few awkward stares from astonished coworkers because of its modern connotations, it’s undoubtedly a funny Zoom background nonetheless.

The casting couch is an excellent conversation starter and can help diffuse tense communication moments ahead of time. Just make sure to use it with the right audience, as not everyone has the sense of humor required to find it hilarious.

Office Cubicle

This is perhaps the most iconic image on the list. In the ultimate act of being funny through irony, a lot of remote workers are using the cubicle background to show how much they “miss” their old routines at the office.

I can just picture it already: trying to hear oneself think through a barrage of clacking keyboards, people yelling at phones (or themselves), and a cacophony of computer CPUs whirring away. It’s truly no wonder people miss their cubicles so much.

Seinfeld Apartment

Going back to shows that made the 90s a memorable era, Seinfeld showed how an up-and-coming comedian, Jerry Seinfeld, navigates the crazy day-to-day life in New York.

He gets up to a plethora of shenanigans with his friends and, while a few of them are outside his apartment, most of them happen in it. The Seinfeld living room is one of the most instantly recognizable sets of any TV show in modern history.

Much like many of the other pop culture-inspired backgrounds we’ve referenced, using this image will show people how cultured (or nostalgic) you are.

Coffee Mug in a Fire

Want to give off the impression of calm in the midst of a corporate storm? This might just be the Zoom background image for you.

In a whimsical twist of irony, this funny photo depicts a cartoonish kitchen on fire – with a mug comfortably resting at the edge of the kitchen table. The flames seem to be coming off the carpet, and there’s smoke wafting through the ceiling.

If your weekend was a bust and Monday seems to not be any better, use this classic background to spice up your next meeting.

Harry Potter

The Harry Potter trilogy is popular.

This classic image depicts the Hogwarts great hall. It’s a fictional location where students at Hogwarts come together to have meals. If other fellow coworkers are fans of the series, this background is sure to stir up an excellent conversation (after the business is done, of course).

In Conclusion

Zoom backgrounds have emerged as a great way to spice up the regular old corporate setting of virtual meetings.

With the effects of the pandemic still being felt in many parts of the world, employees are coming to terms with the fact that remote work might well remain the status quo for years to come.

One of the few features making that switch less painful is Zoom backgrounds. The software lets users upload locally stored photos to use as backgrounds for video conferences. People have let their creative sides flourish with this feature – and you should make the most of it too.

If you use Zoom regularly, be sure to check out any of the examples we’ve examined in this piece and make your meetings legendary.
