With the coronavirus pandemic still looming, many of us won't be able to spend the holiday season close with family and friends this year. Holiday celebrations are likely to take place virtually, on video conferencing platforms like Zoom. This includes both virtual office parties, which take place in place of the traditional New Year's Eve blast, and family recordings over the winter holidays. To make your virtual festivities feel a bit more like the real thing, we've compiled a selection of Zoom Christmas backgrounds that are sure to get you in the holiday spirit.
How to use Zoom backgrounds
Before you choose a Zoom Christmas background, you should know how to set custom backgrounds on the platform. Fortunately, the process is easy and only requires a few steps. First, make sure the Zoom Funds feature is enabled in your account settings. You can do this by going to your account page through your web browser, navigating to Settings on the left bar, clicking In Meeting (advanced), and enabling virtual backgrounds (the slider will turn blue once the feature is activated). . To set your Zoom background, sign in to the desktop app and click the settings icon in the top right corner. In the Virtual Background tab, you can choose from the stock options or upload an image or video via the + icon below the video feed. Whatever background is selected in the settings panel, it will be automatically applied the next time you join a video conference. For best results, it's important to make sure your video is bright and smooth. Zoom Christmas backgrounds will not work as well in partial darkness or in bright light, which can cause unwanted distortion. Using a green wallpaper is ideal, but inconvenient for many, and a solid background of any color works perfectly as long as the clothes are not the same color.Christmas backgrounds with zoom
