(Pocket-lint) - Video conferencing services have become hugely popular, allowing you to virtually meet with others when in-person conversations aren't possible. For Zoom, this has led to the creation of its virtual background feature allowing you to change your background to help you pretend you're in a library, on the beach, Santa's grotto, or pretty much anywhere where want. 

We actually walk you through how to set up and use avirtual background in Zoom here or in the video at the bottom of the page (no green screen required). Essentially, it lets you choose any image as your background. It's handy if you have a messy room or cluttered environment you want to hide during a video call. Even Disney and DC are fans of Zoom's virtual background feature, as they've now shared free images for people to use.

Regular people have been doing the same across social media, which has resulted in some pretty hilarious and fun Zoom background ideas. 

Elf

Pretend you're back in Elf school learning how to be Santa's little helper with Will Farrell from the movie Elf.

The Office

The characters in The Office spent most of their workdays talking to cameras. Now, you're basically doing the same thing, but with Zoom. 

Hallway from The Shining

If your boss doesn't think this is an appropriate background for a meeting, just remind them that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Pretty room

This background basically just tricks your co-workers into thinking your house is really put-together and clean. 

The Simpsons' living room

Fox released free backgrounds from its hit animated series. This one makes it look like you're working from the living room of the Simpsons. 

Bob's Burgers

Fox also released a background from Bob's Burgers and two more from Family Guy. This particular background doubles as a good example of social distancing between Linda and Bob. 

Minecraft

Let your co-workers know you'd much rather be playing Minecraft than working. Of course, your boss might start to wonder what you do all day.

Everything is fine

Everyone can relate to the This is Fine meme at least a little bit right now. So, why not make it your Zoom background?

The distracted boyfriend meme

We could all use a little pick me up throughout the day, so it can only help your self-confidence when you log in to your next video conference only to see someone's boyfriend checking you out. 

Hall of Justice

Show where you stand on stealing office supplies, by attending the next office meeting from the steps of the Hall of Justice, thanks to this background released by DC Comics. 

The Batcave

DC also released a background for Batman's iconic hideout, the Batcave. Use this one so you can discuss with your co-workers why Batman has a full-sized T-Rex and a foot Joker poster in his Batcave. 

Inside Out

Disney tweeted out backgrounds from some of Pixar's biggest hits, including this one from Inside Out, plus Toy Story and Finding Nemo ones. 

Up

The Moon

Starship Enterprise
