People have been using the funniest Zoom backgrounds during the coronavirus pandemic

The global coronavirus pandemic has forced businesses to change the way they communicate on a daily basis. What used to be done with face-to-face, in-person meetings has now switched over to video conferences with everyone working from home.

And when it comes to those video conferencing, Google Hangouts and Zoom seem to be among the most popular. Just last week, our Charles Curtis broke down the advantages of each service.

But Zoom, in particular, has an amazing feature that newly remote workers can’t get enough of: There’s a custom background setting.

All you need to do is be stationed in front of a blank background, and Zoom allows the user to upload their own image. The Miami Dolphins did that for Kyle Van Noy’s press conference last week.

But around the internet, the custom Zoom backgrounds have been comedic gold. It’s exactly what we need to get through this tough time.

So. Good.
