Microsoft Teams and Zoom both allow you to upload and share your own virtual background to display when attending a class or meeting.

Using a virtual background enables you to retain some privacy when sharing your webcam by hiding the background of the room you’re actually in. It can also make a meeting fun – by making yourself appear to be at a famous landmark or somewhere familiar to you and your class mates.

This page contains a growing list of links to sources of virtual backgrounds, we recommend right-clicking the links and opening them in a new tab.
