Half the fun of a Zoom meeting or virtual get together is looking at whatever is behind your friends, colleagues and family members, right? If there are bookcases in the background, we want to know the book titles. If there’s any type of artwork on display, we want to figure out who did it and what it means. And finally, if there’s a mess ibehind them, we often feel relieved; “Oh look! Their house is just like ours!”

But what does your Zoom background say about you? Didn’t have time to do the dishes…for a week? Haven’t taken the initiative to replace that old Ikea bookshelf you bought right out of college? Is your neighbor’s dog doing his business on the lawn outside your window?

A good way to avoid people getting a little too up close and personal via Zoom meetings is to download an attractive background image to use on Zoom. This time of year, why not go festive? You’ll be in good company. A recent survey done by design website Modsy showed that 69% of respondents (thousands of people all over the country) say they plan to go above and beyond with their holiday home decor this year.

And the survey found that decor competition is exceptionally fierce in certain states. Illinois ranks first, where a whopping 71% of the population plans to go all out.

Even if you don’t have the resources or the inclination to go nutsy cuckoo this year decorating, your Zoom buddies might think you do, if you use one of these 5 festive Christmas Zoom backgrounds, graciously provided by Modsy. BTW, Modsy also offers help with design and the acquisition of many of these specific design pieces.

If you’re not certain about how to add and apply these backgrounds, it’s super simple: Just open your Zoom app, go into preferences, click on Backgrounds & Filters, then click on the little plus sign and add the background of your choice. Easy peasy.
