Did you know you can change the background of your Zoom videoconferencing video?

Now that most of us are keeping our social distance, we are leveraging video-conferencing software more than ever.  That doesn’t mean you have to show the current state of your house, or not have some fun in the process.

Linked below are 20 background images that I have perfectly sized for zoom video-conferences.  The photos are from the Twin Cities, and South Dakota.

You can use them for free, and for as long as you like.

There are no strings attached, and I thank you for playing your role in slowing the spread of Covid-19.

Please share this post so make these images available to everyone.

Tomas As a versatile individual, I've worn many hats throughout my journey: devoted father, accomplished photographer, seasoned web developer, and certified Scrum Master. While my professional endeavors often find me immersed in lines of code, my heart lies in capturing life's fleeting moments through the lens of my camera. Outside the digital realm, you'll find me cherishing precious moments with my loves or exploring the world alongside friends, camera in hand. My passion for photography has led me to curate captivating exhibitions, with several solo showcases reflecting my unique vision and artistic prowess.
