Thanks to the fast-paced technological advances of this generation and flexible companies allowing employees to work from home, what was once the humble weekly meeting has drastically shifted. Whether it’s a weekly scrum, a monthly board meeting, or a quick alignment chat, modern-day meetings have become an opportunity for team members to personalize how they communicate with one another and curate an environment that encourages productivity, collaboration, and communication.
The advent of the latest health pandemic has also seen the idea of conferencing calls extend far beyond the scope of weekly agenda lists. Instead, they have now also become a central hub for connection where colleagues, friends, family, and classmates are able to schedule in some much-needed connection, interaction—and let’s be honest, laughs.
From live cooking demos to e-book clubs, conference calls have evolved into an entirely new arena.
Enter the latest trend of conferencing calls: Funny Zoom backgrounds.
Putting some fun into your remote calls is easy with Zoom thanks to its virtual background feature. Whether you have a Mac, PC, or iOS device, you can ensure that those on the other end of your call are able to connect with you and your funny (read: hilarious) Zoom background idea.
But before we take you through funny Zoom backgrounds to try, let’s go through the basics.
How does Zoom work?
Zoom is a video-conferencing application that allows you to have virtual meetings via audio, video or both.
You simply need a webcam or phone to join. You can learn more about how to download the Zoom here.
