With much of the country staying indoors, and many working from home, a lot of people are asking “how do I make my video calls look more interesting?”
If you’re using Teams or Zoom to catch up with friends and family, or for conducting meetings for work, you can now change your background image, hiding what’s actually there, and placing you into an entirely virtual world, and it couldn’t be easier.
Whether you’re using Zoom or Teams, you can now add one of these fabulous Plumbs images to completely transform your home office into a luxurious living room. Don’t worry, instructions how to change your background image for both Zoom and Teams are below.
Start by selecting your favourite image (or images) from the ones below.
If you’re using Teams on a Windows PC, copy and paste this address into your File Explorer address bar

Then, when you’re on a call on Teams, click the three dots in the control bar, choose Show Effects, and then choose your new Plumbs background and brace yourself to become the envy of your friends and work colleagues.
If you’re using Zoom, the process is even easier. Start by opening the Zoom program. Then click Room Management, then select Zoom Rooms.
