(☝️ That is an Anyvoo backdrop, by the way.) If you and I were to jump on a Zoom call together, this is what my home office background would look like: I’ve worked from home for a decade and I’ve tried out five video conference backgrounds and backdrops.

You just need some simple improvements or a backdrop that dresses up appearance. But on the flip side, you don’t necessarily need the Library of Alexandria behind you. You want to present a bit more professionally in Zoom meetings. To add a virtual background on Zoom, simply go to preferences then virtual background, and upload your selected image.You’re ready to improve your home office background for video meetings – enough with the window glare, the slightly made bed, and the poster from ten years ago.

To download the backgrounds, click the heading title, then right-click to save the image to your computer. Read on to see the options, but don't fret if you can't choose, you can swap out your background as often as you'd like. To help get you started, we tapped some of our favorite designers and design bloggers to share their favorite images for our readers to use as virtual backgrounds. The video-conferencing service allows users to upload their own backgrounds, which means you can virtually spend some time in your dream home or experiment with a whole new design style, no strings attached.

Thankfully, you don't have to get rid of your favorite furnishings or even rearrange your layout to experience a fresh design aesthetic, all you have to do is change your Zoom background. Add to that the fact that your interiors make an appearance on all of your video calls, and the desire to give your space a makeover is hard to ignore. Seeing the same rooms over and over and over naturally feels a little monotonous, no matter how much you love your home's design. Now that we're several months into this new normal of spending more time at home and interacting with friends, family, and coworkers solely over video chat-Zoom, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, you name it-it's not surprising that many of us are craving a bit of change, especially when it comes to our interiors.
