If you're working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, you've probably been holding meetings on Zoom for a few weeks already. If you haven't used it for work, you've likely attended a Zoom party or two. And your go-to background — it's an old vacation pic, isn't it? — might be getting a little old.

Thankfully, the formidable Mashable art team made a slew of new backgrounds for you. From a gorgeous ad for Flavortown to *that* beach from Portrait of a Lady on Fire, these selections will let you pretend you're not only somewhere else, but also somewhere else other than the first place you pretended to be.

Enjoy!

Want to be Dua Lipa but don't want to bleach your hair? Now's your big chance. Simply sit in the exact same position, head tilted, for your entire Zoom call.
