Need a little bit of motivation to get through the working week in the run-up to Christmas?

Thankfully, we’ve compiled 13 funny and festive Christmas Microsoft Teams or Zoom backgrounds so that you spread joy in every meeting.

How to change your background on Microsoft Teams
If, like many, you’re back to working from home during the festive period, you’re likely using Teams, Zoom, or another conference call app. To make those 9am meetings a little less dull, try switching up your background.
To do so, select ‘Background Filters’ as you’re setting up your camera and audio for a meeting.
Next, you can upload your own festive photo ( .JPG, .PNG, or .BMP) for a Christmas-themed background.
If you want to turn the background off at any point, choose the circle symbol with the line through the middle.
See Microsoft’s website for more information.
