If video conferencing and Zoom happy hours are our new reality, then backgrounds and filters are our new currency. Zoom backgrounds help you hide the dirty laundry you forgot was piled up behind you, and they give you a pass on having to share the details of your living space with your boss, your teacher, or 35 nosy coworkers.
We’ve all seen coworkers rocking backgrounds with images of the Golden Gate Bridge or an idyllic coastline at sunset. And who could forget that one boss who accidentally used a filter to turn herself into a potato? At Dictionary.com, we’re all about sharing knowledge and helping you find the right words to express yourself. That’s why we created a few Zoom backgrounds of our own to help you connect responsibly and in style.
