That oughta get you on the nice list, right? Meh, at the very least you'll put a smile on the face of your fellow Zoomers and spread some holiday cheer. Whether your office is still working remotely (hi, same!), your fam is choosing to celebrate the season virtually again, or you're just keeping in touch with your long-distance BFFs, we've learned that backgrounds are v necessary to make Zoom a fun time-along with party games, of course. So why not lean into the festivities with some holiday Zoom backgrounds?

But months and months have passed by and we're still.out here doing the damn thing. Below, a few of our faves to ensure your Christmas Zoom sesh is merry and bright.If you had asked me back in December 2020 if I thought we’d still be using Zoom to gather during the 2021 holiday season, I would’ve laughed in your cute lil face. While my top recommendation is always a vintage photo of you crying on Santa’s lap at the mall (ask your mom to send it to you in advance!) there are plenty of great options you can pull from online, too. Select your photo and boom! Leave it all night long or change it every now and again to keep things interesting.ĭon’t have a photo in mind? That’s where we come in. Click the button that says Settings, then Virtual Background. Simply save a photo you like to your computer’s desktop and then open up your Zoom. If you’ve yet to dive into the world of Zoom backgrounds, setting them up is beyond easy. Or, you can get creative and use a funny background for laughs, like Santa Claus in a face mask. That’s why I’m making Zoom backgrounds cool again-and these Christmas Zoom backgrounds are the move for any and all safe, distanced celebrations.Ī good Zoom background is the gift that keeps on giving-and it’s the season of giving gifts, is it not? Whether you go for a classically-decorated home or a beautifully-trimmed Christmas tree, your background can totally convince your loved ones you have your life together this holiday season (despite the fact that literally no one has their life together right now). Many of us will be celebrating with loved ones, but for some, in-person parties are just nor realistic. We had a summer of warm weather and partially-lifted mask restrictions, but just in time for the holidays, the Omicron variant is putting us back in our places and reminding us to be a little safer this season.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Zoomland.
