One of the fun we’ve experienced in this weird era – yes, there’s a lot of fun, including the global flood of baked cakes and cookies – exploded in video conferences.
Whether you’re using Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or some other chatty app, 2020 will make us friends and a well-known private space. Don’t pretend you’re not fascinated and see what celebrities have left behind near their home computers. Don’t pretend you think some of these people have better lives than they actually live. We are all transformed. We are all peeping now.
Literally: This crisis even allows us to peek into Tom Hanks in his kitchen Saturday Night Live.
The joy of the approved expression habit is simply to enhance the joy of self-expression through false digital backgrounds that you can upload to make it look as if you are not somewhere.
We may never be able to explain to grandpa the Zoom we want to click so that everyone’s pictures are stacked like openings Brady Bunch (Here is a view of the gallery, Gramps), But we can at least confuse him by uploading wild and weird virtual backgrounds to be behind us in our video calls.
Don’t think that the world’s tourist attractions don’t see free marketing opportunities in our newly discovered custom background. Many destinations create their own images, you just need to download and upload to your favorite video conferencing platform, no charge at all.
Now you can celebrate the wonders of the world at the same time and hide the growing amount of dirty clothing behind you.
These are not stolen by random people and post them as their own photos, they are 100% legal and do not have the strings that come with the official office to provide you with. So you’re fine! OK, actually.

If you need to know, here is how to add a virtual background in one of the most popular video chat apps, Zoom:
1. Save the photo to your computer or device.

3. If your computer or device can support this feature, “Virtual Background” appears as an option. Select it and press Plus to log in to upload the photo of your choice. You can also use videos.
We don’t think we can really compete with the virtual wallpaper Monopoly above, but we can offer a unique striptease for some of our own backgrounds.
Next time you log in to the virtual chat, take these photos of our books behind you. People would think your location is stuffed with bookshelf, just like you are some kind of library smart pants. They will never see the dirty dishes behind you now!
