These scenes honestly look pretty realistic (pro-tip: just don’t move around too quickly!). Click “Virtual Background” from the bar on the left, then press the plus sign to upload the photo of your choice. Then, on Zoom, click the gear settings in the upper right corner. Now it’s your turn! Here’s how to change your background on Zoom: First, find your favorite background photos below and save them to your desktop. When I heard about it, I had to give it a go – and might’ve had a little too much fun doing it. (Hey, a little levity can go a long way these days.) The Creative Team at West Elm HQ kicked off this trend internally, joining meetings virtually from the West Elm Holiday House, this stunning A-Frame home and more, much to the delight of everyone else on the call.

We’re talking about real-life living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and more that we’ve featured right here on the Front + Main blog. That’s right, it’s a virtual background! And no offense to Zoom’s pre-set options, but we’re not talking about a generic outer space scene or a panoramic shot of the Golden Gate Bridge.

While I might now have some time on my hands to make that WFH space look better IRL, I want to show you a shortcut that will get all of us to our dream homes by that 3pm meeting. I’m working from a Brooklyn apartment that hasn’t been fully moved into yet – and on frequent video chats with my stylish West Elm colleagues, it shows. I’ve learned that my video chat background is a bit lackluster, to put it lightly. That blurry, front-facing camera lens can be pretty unforgiving. Can you see my screen? Am I on mute? Is that your husband in the background? And if you’re into home design – Is that *really* what my house looks like on camera? Whether you’re a WFH pro or are just getting started, there’s a major learning curve when it comes to video conference meetings. UPDATE: Got a virtual happy hour, brunch or dinner coming up?
