10 Zoom Background Ideas To Make Your Guests LOL, Including Kris Jenner’s House

In my younger and more vulnerable years (It’s a Gatsby reference), I was always a Skype gal. Now, as a ~mature adult~, I usually opt for FaceTime. However, given our current state of social distancing, I’ve been forced to face the fact that not all of my friends are card-carrying members of the iPhone club, and because we can’t all FaceTime, I’ve resorted to Zoom. TBH, I never imagined Zoom would play such a major role in my life, but I feel like I’m using it 24/7—hence why I’ve bothered researching the best Zoom backgrounds. Is it too much to ask that my Zoom work meetings look and feel a little different than my after-6 p.m. Zoom happy hours? I think not.

If you’re like, “Whoa wait, what’s Zoom? I’ve been social distancing by reading a good book and piecing together puzzles,” then props to you for managing to unplug and get offline for a little while, but some of us need face to (virtual) face interactions. Zoom is a video conferencing service much like Skype, and it’s a great way to stay connected for both work and play purposes. While you can buy plans starting at $14.99, the free package allows for meetings up to 40 minutes with up to 100 participants, and unlimited one-on-one meetings.

I digress—I’m not here to sell you on Zoom. I’m here to let the already-Zoom-obsessed amongst you know how many ~cool and fun~ Zoom virtual backgrounds exist to jazz up your video sessions. Read on for the best of the best to wow your work associates, happy hour partners, and whoever else you find yourself Zooming with. Is Zooming the correct verb here? I think so; let’s go with it.

1. The Love Is Blind Pods
