9 weird, free stock images that make excellent Zoom backgrounds
If you're like me, you've reached a point where there's not a Star Wars scene in the galaxy you haven't wielded as a Zoom background.
You've meandered through various Bojack Horseman settings too, and you've even plucked every last custom-made background the Mashable team has painstakingly put together for schmucks like me. But these are too good. You want something truly weird.
Behold, a bunch of free stock images that will make everyone uncomfortable — without being inappropriate. You can click on each image to get to the free version on each stock image platform, because you really shouldn't be shelling out $500 for a flight of fancy in these troubled times.
Look, I even tried some out for you.
We're past regular meetings, people. Time to get freaky.
1. These two scoundrels
Pop your face in the middle and off you go, y'scamps.
2. This creepy gnome
Don't explain to anyone why he's there. Just arrive.
3. An oddly relatable head
Same, buddy. Same.
4. This cheeky reveal
Position yourself in front of the inexplicable T-rex at this stunning waterfall and reveal it mid-meeting for a little treat.
5. This extremely Invasion of the Body Snatchers workplace
Bet you don't miss IRL workplaces now, do you?
6. This handy visual cue
Perfect for a soundless affirmative. Just move your head and let the plant-surrounded thumb do the work.
7. This casual scare
HELLO. LET'S START THE MEETING.
8. These shoulder angels
Advice from all sides with these fluffy bois, who sit just right on each shoulder.
9. Three plush Kermits
You're the See No Evil Kermit, got it?
Out of ideas? Try making one yourself.
