Funny Zoom backgrounds you can use to spice up your online meetings
You can use these to hide your messy rooms.
Video calls on online meeting platforms like Zoom are starting to pick up as Singapore ramps up telecommuting options to reduce the spread of COVID-19 within workplaces.
Besides keeping colleagues and bosses connected, these online meeting platforms are starting to gain popularity beyond working spaces, thanks to their customisable features.
Users can easily change their virtual backgrounds or touch up their appearances with the in-built filter.
Here’s a round-up of funny Zoom backgrounds you can use to impress anyone, be it your colleagues, bosses or even friends.
1. Pretend you're in a cafe

Even if you’re stuck at home, you can always pretend that you’re in a café to feel productive.
Best accompanied with a coffee shop playlist on YouTube and a cup of Dalgona coffee.
2. When you're having a bad day

If you need to send a SOS to your team, this is your chance to drop subtle hints to your colleagues about your current state of mind.

3. Motivate yourself

Posters with motivational quotes are so passé. Show off your allegiance to your favourite actor, band or anyone else that you stan.
4. If you're home alone

Working offsite can get pretty lonely if you’re the only one at home. If you need to feel like you’re surrounded by your family members at home, this could offer temporary relief.
Don’t forget to watch over your back once in a while, just in case. #nospoilers
5. Make a quick escape


We all know that travelling is practically impossible and frowned upon at the moment, but you could always pretend that you’re at your dream destination as you work.
6. If you miss your colleagues

For those suffering from separation anxiety, this will help you feel like you’re back at the office, literally.
Even better – use a real photo of your colleagues for the feels.

7. Imagine you're in a movie


Movie buffs can consider adding scenes from their favourite movies for some dramatic flair.

Stay safe and connected, everyone.
