32 Borderline Insane Zoom Backgrounds for You Next Video Meeting

I have mixed feelings about Zoom meetings. On one hand, the convenience is undeniable—rolling out of bed, tossing on a somewhat respectable top, and joining a work meeting without ever leaving the house (let's be real, pajamas may still be the bottom half of my outfit). It's efficient, no commuting required, and I definitely don't miss sitting in traffic just to attend a meeting that could've easily been summarized in an email. But on the other hand, the non-stop video calls can start to feel relentless—like we're all stuck in an endless cycle of one Zoom call after another.

But if there's one way to make these meetings bearable (and potentially more fun), it's with hilarious and borderline insane Zoom backgrounds. We've gathered a list of the wildest, funniest, and just plain weird backgrounds for you to try out. Whether it's a giant pug looming over your shoulder, a couple of screaming cowboys in the sky, or something completely bizarre—use at your own risk. We take no responsibility if you get fired for showing up to your next meeting in front of a scene that looks straight out of a fever dream.
