27 Totally Free RSVLTS Zoom Backgrounds To Download For Quarantine Life

Zoom life is upon us (whether we like it or not) and people out there think it's cool to put palm trees or space or whatever in their video conference backgrounds. We agree, that's actually very cool. But, you can do better.

Inspired by a few Insiders who've been sharing screen shots of their radical Zooms with makeshift RSVTS backgrounds, we decided to bless you all with some official options. We may make some more—depending on how long this damn quarantine lasts—but these should get you started.

Now, get out there and turn video conference background changing into a competitive sport.
