There are four holiday-inspired virtual backgrounds that can be downloaded and used to set the scene for virtual meetings on video conferencing platforms like Zoom. Each background taps into a different spirit of the season and helps people celebrate in the way they like to express themselves best. While the Traditional Christmas Collection background is nostalgic with vintage-inspired elements, the Peace on Earth Collection background promises to transport people to a "wintery, woodland wonderland" escape. Already, people are feeling eager for the sense of comfort and togetherness that comes with the holiday season after what has been a challenging year.
