It didn't take long for people to start creating their own fun with Zoom, including making the most of its virtual background feature.Īs long as you're sitting in front of a plain background - green screen is best but you can usually improvise at home using curtains or similar - you can upload anything you fancy as your wallpaper.

It's also lifted spirits across the world, whether it's because of a cat sitting on a keyboard or a housemate strolling past your camera in their pants.

It's a useful business tool that's also being used recreationally too, for family pub quizzes and after-work drinks with friends. Most useful of all is Zoom, a video-conferencing application that can host up to 100 participants at once for free.

Thank goodness for technology, which is allowing many companies to operate largely as normal even though few of us can be in the same room as our colleagues.
