When I heard about it, I had to give it a go – and might’ve had a little too much fun doing it.
(Hey, a little levity can go a long way these days.) The Creative Team at West Elm HQ kicked off this trend internally, joining meetings virtually from the West Elm Holiday House, this stunning A-Frame home and more, much to the delight of everyone else on the call. We’re talking about real-life living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and more that we’ve featured right here on the Front + Main blog. That’s right, it’s a virtual background! And no offense to Zoom’s pre-set options, but we’re not talking about a generic outer space scene or a panoramic shot of the Golden Gate Bridge. While I might now have some time on my hands to make that WFH space look better IRL, I want to show you a shortcut that will get all of us to our dream homes by that 3pm meeting. I’m working from a Brooklyn apartment that hasn’t been fully moved into yet – and on frequent video chats with my stylish West Elm colleagues, it shows. I’ve learned that my video chat background is a bit lackluster, to put it lightly. That blurry, front-facing camera lens can be pretty unforgiving.
Can you see my screen? Am I on mute? Is that your husband in the background? And if you’re into home design – Is that *really* what my house looks like on camera? Whether you’re a WFH pro or are just getting started, there’s a major learning curve when it comes to video conference meetings. No need to clean your apartment! Follow the steps here to change your Zoom background and just make sure your picture's dimensions are 1,920 pixels by 1,080 pixels (or close to it).UPDATE: Got a virtual happy hour, brunch or dinner coming up?

With the following free Zoom backgrounds, you can officially Zoom coworkers and loved ones while on a vacation in Greece, standing among Stormtroopers in the Death Star from "Star Wars", or in the comfort of your own tropical cabana - while not lifting a finger besides clicking upload. Once the basic catch-up questions are asked and you've touched upon the weather, it's easy to think: now what? Luckily, Zoom's background feature grants us a way to make our virtual chats a million times more fun, and the outcome is so cool! While video chatting with friends, family, and coworkers is a great way to keep in touch, at times it can be challenging to break the ice and make our calls creative, especially once the afternoon slump hits and you have run out of games to play on Zoom.
