These Travel-inspired Zoom Backgrounds Will Make It Look Like You're Working From Paradise

While many of us have adapted to working from home with ease others have truly struggled, and sometimes with hilarious results. Just taking a look at Twitter it's easy to amass a few hilarious horror stories of our new world of Zoom meetings. Like this woman, whose entire office got a peek into her home life:

Or this woman, who gave her partner's coworkers quite the show:

Or this fine lady, who let her cat attend meetings for her:

And this guy, who face planted in front of everyone:

Yes, Zoom life is different, and a little hard, and sometimes very, very funny. But there is one easy way to make it all just a little bit more enjoyable and that's with Zoom backgrounds. Specifically, backgrounds of your favorite destinations.

The hospitality brand OneFineStay created a number of gorgeous Zoom background templates that travel lovers are free to use as long as they are stuck working from home.

For example, the company created this lovely background of St. Barts noting, "We all dream of being transported to June, where you can take a conference call from this stunning, sun-soaked deck looking out at St. Barts lush landscape--glass of rosé in hand, of course."

And this photo from a poolside hangout at the Australian enclave of Clontarf Villa in Sydney.

Travel lovers can also appear to be taking their Zoom meetings right from Paris at the Rue Quincampoix, a 17th century home that was built at the beginning of the reign of Louis XIV.

Not to be outdone, fine art photographer Gray Malin has created free virtual zoom backgrounds as well. With his creations, Zoom meetings can now happen while relaxing on the shores of Positano.

Or, those Zoom meetings can take place slope-side in Aspen.

Of course, sometimes workers need to "travel" to New York for meetings, making this Central Park background the perfect fit.
