If you’re in need of livening up your meetings, we’ve got your back

While coronavirus lockdown is keeping us all inside, and many of us working from home, it seems we’ve all got a bit bored of the sight of our own houses by now.

You could always take on a creative DIY project and change things up – or just make use of one of these handy Zoom virtual backgrounds.

You know which one you want to do.

After all, since working from home became the norm, TV die-hards have been using it as an opportunity to place themselves right in the middle of their favourite shows.

So, if you want the chance to virtually hang out at Central Perk, pop onto a Love Island beanbag, or even take Sheldon Cooper’s spot on the sofa from him, this is for you.

The Office

Be honest, we’ve all always wanted a chance to do a shady Office-style talking head, complete with a Jim Halpert look to camera

This background will let you do just that – just don’t forget your colleagues will be right there listening.

Time to give the world’s best boss a run for his money

Love Island

We’ve got to admit it, that villa always looks like absolute luxury. You might not be in Mallorca or Cape Town but you know what? It is what it is.

Pull up a beanbag, stick your sunnies on, and get on with your meeting in style.

Get cosy and dish the dirt

Big Brother

You are live on Zoom, please do not swear.

It might not have been our tellies for quite some time, but we all know we’ve always wanted a dramatic moment in that Diary Room chair.

Friends

A truly iconic background. Grab a coffee, take a seat, switch on the Central Perk background, and you’re all ready for a natter with your version of the gang.

You will have to get your own coffee though, unless you’ve got a generous housemate, partner, or family member ready to be your Gunther.

Frasier

So many seats to choose from, so little time.

Why not spend your meeting just pondering life in Niles’ apartment? We promise no one will judge you for it…

SO MUCH BEIGE

Community

Study Room F could be your new home for your meeting, with all the gang listening in.

Bonus points if you stick some Childish Gambino on in the background.

Your colleagues will definitely enjoy the staring

Bob’s Burgers

Don’t be shy, pull up a stool.

Don’t tell us your colleagues don’t want to look at this inviting background for a whole meeting. We just refuse to believe that.

Pull up a stool

Game Of Thrones

In what might be our favourite background yet, you can sit (or have your head floating eerily) on the Iron Throne.

Eight seasons, years of battles, countless deaths, and all it took was you switching up your Zoom background. George R R Martin will be fuming.

It took them eight seasons, it’ll only take you one Zoom call

The Big Bang Theory

It’s been almost a year since the iconic sitcom ended, but it doesn’t mean you can’t take your spot on the couch for your Zoom meetings.

To make it authentic, grab yourself a takeaway and stay far, far away from Sheldon’s spot. You have been warned.

Stay away from Sheldon’s spot

Riverdale

There’s always one. Each to their own, eh?

We promise no one will judge…

Golden Girls

Truly, where else can you get a better natter than squeezing yourself onto that couch?

Hold the gossip girls, we’re on our way.

So cosy!

Will and Grace

Will Truman’s living room might be the cosiest background of the bunch.

It’s no Iron Throne, but it’s definitely not the worst office to have.

The perfect sofa for a Zoom chat
