The holidays are here, and for many, Zoom is still this year’s go-to place for Christmas celebrations and Hanukkah gatherings, and festive family celebrations. Video calls allow people to connect with loved ones around the world, no matter how far apart they are. To get in the holiday spirit, displaying a bright and cheerful background on your device is a foolproof way. From images of glittering Christmas presents to wistful winter wonderlands, these themed scenes will fill your virtual gathering with nothing but festive cheer.
How it works: To create a custom virtual background, first log into your account on the Zoom website. Go to Settings, then Meeting Settings and scroll down to make sure the virtual background feature is enabled. Next, go to the app and click on Settings from there. In the menu on the left you’ll see the virtual background again, where you can select one of the zoom options or upload one of those holiday-inspired tips. Click on the plus sign icon and you can upload the background of your choice.
No matter how far away you are from your loved ones, let Zoom connect you and bring you all the holiday happiness. Read on to download these festive, festive backgrounds.
