With Zoom becoming a more popular tool than ever with the dramatic increase in those working from home due to COVID-19, Men's Health has decided to use the opportunity to release a series of comedic backgrounds that allow users to feature themselves on one of its magazine covers.
The virtual magazine covers are available for download from the Men's Health website, and feature lighthearted titles like "Sweatpants are Business Casual Now" and "Keep off the Quarantine 15." In the center of each background, a blank space is left for the Zoom user to fill, so that they can show off to their colleagues. As Men's Health notes, the backgrounds are also ideal for users who haven't taken the time to tidy up their work spaces, and don't want their colleagues to know.
