The spread of the coronavirus has forced many people to work from home and communicate via virtual meetings on Zoom and other free video conferencing services . While it turns out that virtual meetings are about as exciting as real-life meetings ( unless you’re planning to play games with your friends ), Zoom does offer one amusing advantage that makes them more exciting: customizable virtual backgrounds.

As far as the Zoom backgrounds available, there are tons of great ones to choose from, including more than a few backgrounds based on your favorite shows and movies. It’s actually possible to upload just about any background you want, but to get you started, we’ve highlighted some of the best geeky backgrounds that we’ve found around the internet.

Before we dive into the background, here’s a quick breakdown on how to upload a custom background image to Zoom:

• Go to the Zoom app’s settings menu.
• Choose the Virtual Background option on the left.
• Click on the Plus icon on the right side of “Choose Virtual Background”
• Upload your desired background image file from your device.

You can also swap between background images by clicking that Plus symbol again and choosing another background image file. Now, here are the best nerdy backgrounds we’ve found so far:

Game of Thrones, Westworld, and More From HBO

HBO got in on the Zoom background game fairly early on with this collection of favorites from the premium network. The Silicon Valley and Sharp Objects backgrounds are surprisingly subtle and all-around awesome, but nobody is going to blame you if you choose to sit on the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones .

It’s slightly disappointing that HBO didn’t dive deeper into its catalog for these official backgrounds, but you can always make a custom image that lets you address your co-workers from the front of a New Jersey pork store or the Gem saloon.

The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, and the Pixar Collection

The Pixar collection is not only instantly recognizable, but the crystal clear visuals of the best Pixar movies happen to make them the perfect candidates for Zoom backgrounds.

Thankfully, Pixar has already posted an official collection of backgrounds for your amusement. You can’t go wrong with The Incredibles background , and the Toy Story cloud wall background also works shockingly well for just about any situation.

Just be careful using that Up background. Times are tough enough without having to remind people of that movie’s opening minutes.

The Simpsons, Family Guy, and the Rest of the Fox Animated Lineup

Few networks have access to as many iconic animated series as Fox does, so we were thrilled to find that the Fox team has sent out some quality official images for your custom background.

The Simpsons couch is an obvious winner here that just about everyone will be able to appreciate, but we’ve got to send some love to those Bob’s Burger backgrounds. It’s just a shame you can’t change the name of the daily special on the chalkboard.

If only there were background images devoted to the many cancelled Fox series over the years. We need some Fastlane back in our lives.

DC Comics Is Offering Everything Awesome

We’re not going to get into a whole DC/Marvel thing right now, but we’ve got to give a special shout out to DC for offering some of the best looking official Zoom background images of any major company.

These animated stills are not only stunningly well-drawn, but they offer a variety of creative background scenarios that will instantly set you apart from your Zoom friends. I mean, just take a look at that awesome Gotham by Gaslight -style background. You also have to love the Fortress of Solitude options, which not only look great but are oddly appropriate right now.

Download DC Comics Zoom Backgrounds Here

Marvel Lets You Zoom into the MCU

Not to be outdone by the competition, Marvel posted a few official Zoom backgrounds on its website that offer you the chance to sit in front of a few different corners of the Marvel universe.

The bulk of these selections feature the MCU films, which is honestly pretty hard to complain about. Granted, it’s a limited selection of options, but the fact you get a few options from the colorful Thor: Ragnarok is good enough for now.

The two comic-style options are also pretty great, but we need some quality X-Men backgrounds ASAP.

Star Wars Millenium Falcon (and Pretty Much Everything Else)

Since it doesn’t seem like the Star Wars team has entered the Zoom backgrounds arena yet, you’re left relying on the many fan-made backgrounds that have already been created.

We’re particularly fond of the Millenium Falcon image you see above, which is not only clean and recognizable but also feels natural for conferencing purposes. We also highly recommend finding a way to put yourself in the Jedi High Council room or Emperor’s throne room. The cockpit of the Millennium Falcon is another good one.

Star Trek Options for Every Generation

At the risk of playing favorites, few series lend themselves quite as well to awesome Zoom backgrounds as Star Trek does.

From official collections that transport you o the world of Picard to unofficial options that take you to the original Enterprise bridge and Next Generation holodeck, the wealth of Star Trek backgrounds out there highlights the franchise’s incredible futuristic visuals and creativity.

Now, if someone could find a way to put us on the Enterprise video screen with the captain looking at us from the foreground, we’d be eternally grateful.

The Power Rangers Are Here to Mightily Morph Your Zoom Background

We shouldn’t be surprised that the Power Rangers have our back during these difficult times, but this official selection of themed Zoom backgrounds is still very much welcome.

This wave of official options mostly focuses on the old-school Power Rangers series, but since we all know that original Power Rangers are the best Power Rangers, you should be able to find something that you love.

We kid, folks. We kid because we love.

The Office Offers a Pretty Much Perfect Background

There’s actually quite a few Office -related Zoom backgrounds out there, but it’s hard to do better than this one.

The iconic interview background from The Office is not only an incredibly clever background for Zoom meetings, but it’s honestly one of the few that you could probably get away with using in an official capacity.

It’s that blend of nerdy and professional that you just have to love.

Download The Office Zoom Background Here

The Good Place Is Here with a Slightly Too Accurate Background

Much like The Office , there’s no shortage of Zoom backgrounds from The Good Place . However, in our hearts and minds, there’s really one option that stands apart from the rest.

That “Welcome! Everything is fine” background is one of the best we’ve seen for the current moment in our history. This one is so accurate and perfect that you might actually want to be careful with how you use it.

A Pee Wee’s Playhouse Background for These Tough Times

There are a few things we really love about this Pee Wee’s Playhouse theme. First off, it’s actually pretty well-framed for this format, which is always a subtle plus. It also features quite a few callbacks in a relatively small amount of space which, again, is a bonus for easter egg lovers. It’s also a wholesome and colorful reminder of childhood that will surely put a smile on anyone’s face.

Twin Peaks Offers a Background Strange Enough for Reality

We live in some pretty strange times, so it only makes sense that you might turn to a background that’s just as strange.

While we fully support any references to Twin Peaks , there’s something to be said for the strange serenity of these red room backgrounds. They’re subtle enough to fool anyone not in the know but recognizable enough to be easily spotted by the Twin Peaks crowd out there .

The only thing better would be you sitting on a couch that Bob is menacingly crawling over. Actually…could someone get on that?

Archer Backgrounds for When You Want to Be a Spy

For all of your espionage needs, why not download FX’s new Archer Zoom backgrounds that transport you straight into the office of the International Secret Intelligence Service? It’s perfect for strategy meetings or simply for some high-level office gossip. Just remember to clean up your desk at the end of the day. Leaving a mess is how you get ants.

Best zoom backgrounds: fun virtual backgrounds for zoom meetings.

Zoom's virtual background feature doesn't require a green screen and is handy if you have a messy room you want to hide during a meeting.

Video conferencing services have become hugely popular, allowing you to virtually meet with others when in-person conversations aren't possible. For Zoom, this has led to the creation of its virtual background feature allowing you to change your background to help you pretend you're in a library, on the beach, Santa's grotto, or pretty much anywhere where want.

• How to turn yourself into a potato in Zoom

We walk you through how to set up and use a virtual background in Zoom here or in the video below (no green screen required). Essentially, you can choose any image as your background. It's handy if you have a messy room or cluttered environment you want to hide during a video call. Even Disney and DC are fans of Zoom's virtual background feature, as they've now shared free images for people to use.

The continued popularity of video conferencing for work and play has resulted in some pretty hilarious and fun Zoom background ideas. Check out some of our favourites below.

Starship Enterprise

This is the perfect background for any Trekkies phoning into a meeting. Just make sure your Starfleet uniform is pressed for the occasion.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

The Monterey Bay Aquarium has put up a page loaded with backgrounds featuring several aquatic friends, including this image of jellyfish.

Intimidate your co-workers by showing them the king of the monsters has your back. Legendary Pictures tweeted this image along with a few others for Zoom backgrounds, including one with King Kong.

Trade your co-workers in for a co-pilot with this Zoom background from the new film Top Gun: Maverick. The official Twitter account tweeted this image along with a few others .

Final Fantasy VII

The team behind the remake of Final Fantasy VII shared four gorgeous sci-fi Zoom backgrounds from the upcoming game.

John Wick 3

The Twitter account for John Wick 3: Parabellum shared some background images for Zoom. The only problem is we aren't supposed to conduct business on continental grounds.

Animal Crossing

The recently released Animal Crossing has become a huge hit. We think there's no better way to invite a friend or co-worker over to your island once you're off the clock than with this Zoom background.

The characters in The Office spent most of their workdays talking to cameras. Now, you're basically doing the same thing, but with Zoom.

Hallway from The Shining

If your boss doesn't think this is an appropriate background for a meeting, just remind them that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Pretty room

This background basically just tricks your co-workers into thinking your house is really put-together and clean.

Bob's Burgers

Fox also released a background from Bob's Burgers and two more from Family Guy. This particular background doubles as a good example of social distancing between Linda and Bob.

Alas there's no burger of the day on offer, but a virtual trip to Bob's Burgers would still be great.

Let your co-workers know you'd much rather be playing Minecraft than working. Of course, your boss might start to wonder what you do all day.

Everything is fine

Everyone can relate to the This is Fine meme at least a little bit right now. So, why not make it your Zoom background?

The distracted boyfriend meme

We could all use a little pick me up throughout the day, so it can only help your self-confidence when you log in to your next video conference only to see someone's boyfriend checking you out.

Hall of Justice

Show where you stand on stealing office supplies, by attending the next office meeting from the steps of the Hall of Justice, thanks to this background released by DC Comics .

The Batcave

DC also released a background for Batman's iconic hideout, the Batcave. Use this one so you can discuss with your coworkers why Batman has a full-sized T-Rex and a 10-foot Joker poster in his Batcave.

Disney tweeted out backgrounds from some of Pixar's biggest hits, including this one from Inside Out, plus Toy Story and Finding Nemo ones.

If you're missing someone who is on your call, let them know you want to put your recliner next to theirs with this background from Up.

Disney castle

The Disney Princess account on Facebook posted a collection of backgrounds inspired by Disney stories, like this one with the iconic castle.

RuPaul's Drag Race

RuPaul posted four different backgrounds to the RuPaul's Drag Race Twitter account, so you can feel like you're on the show.

Fake your own moon landing with this simple Zoom background.

Simpson's sign gags

One of the best running gags on The Simpsons show is the ridiculous sayings on signs of different locales the character visit. And these just so happen they make perfect Zoom backgrounds .

The Knives Out Twitter account got in on the Zoom background craze by sharing images from the blockbuster murder-mystery film.

Star Trek: Picard

Attend your next virtual call from aboard a Federation Starship with the Zoom backgrounds from Star Trek: Picard. The official Star Trek Twitter account tweeted a few more images you can use as well.

Ron Swanson's desk

The Parks and Rec Twitter account also shared a few backgrounds from its hit show. Our favourite is this one, which will let you share the same office as Ron Swanson.

Yorkshire Tea blimp

Is there anything more British?

If you can't get enough of Yorkshire Tea and the rolling hills of the north of England, then this background is bound to please. A quintessentially English view complete with a big red flying machine.

Cricket and tea

This Zoom background is sure to make everyone feel a little calmer. A classic scene that includes a beautiful countryside view, some small furry creatures and even a classic game of cricket. What more could you want? A nice brew of course.

Nothing but tea

Can't make it through the day without a good brew? This background is all you need to express your love for tea.

The Simpsons' living room

Fox released free backgrounds from its hit animated series. This one makes it look like you're working from the living room of the Simpsons.

Cyberpunk 2077

Feel like you need to add some dystopian dispair to your Zoom call? CD Project Red shared a range of Cyberpunk images that you can use.

Kingdom Come Deliverance

If you're a gamer, then you might well have a different Zoom style in mind. How about this awesome backdrop from one of our favourite PC games Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Set in a much simpler time, long before working from home was even a thing, these backdrops show a wonderfully medieval landscape.

There's no real danger of Stewie or Brian wandering in while you're on a Zoom call and that might well be a shame, but that doesn't make this Family Guy background any less cool.

Toilet paper stash

This one might be a bit timely and may require an understanding audience, but we like the tongue-in-cheek idea of having a massive pile of toilet rolls as our meeting background.

Vincent Van Gogh’s Irises

If you're a lover of fine art, then you might be interested in the 100,000 free-to-use images you can download from Getty’s Open Content program . These include all manner of works of art, from the classics to more modern photographs. Vincent Van Gogh's works are just one of the brilliant potential options.

Math lady meme

Meetings are confusing. Even more so when you're working from home and spending most of the day in your pyjamas. It's ok, we've all been there. Show your confusion with the help of this meme transformed into a Zoom background.

Windows XP background

Windows XP might well be long dead, but that doesn't stop Bliss, the default wallpaper for the operating system being an instantly recognisable classic. Now you can show your age and your love for Microsoft during your Zoom calls.

• A brief history of Microsoft Windows

The Witcher

CD Projekt Red has released a number of different images from The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt (one of our favourite RPGs). Ideal if you're an avid gamer and want to show off your love for the awesome game while on a Zoom call.

Lush green scenes

If that tower has too lewd memories for your Zoom meeting, how about this wonderful backdrop complete with mountains and local wildlife? As long as no monsters appear on the call that need slaying, everything should be fine right?

An ancient ruin

Set off your Zoom call with a view of an ancient crumbling ruin. It's the perfect contrast to your modern video conference call and a reminder of what the outside world looks like too.

A futuristic vista

As well as releasing backgrounds from The Witcher, CD Projekt Red has also shared several from its popular title Cyberpunk 2077 . Glorious futuristic views with a cyberpunk twist.
