Attend a Zoom Meeting From Within the TARDIS
Zoom custom backgrounds save you the hassle of showing off the same boring wall, messy apartment, or childish chaos in every meeting. And if you grew up watching BBC shows like Doctor Who, EastEnders and BlackAdder, now you can bring nostalgia to your conference calls using the backdrop of your favorite TVs.
The BBC has compiled a gallery of historic stills of empty sets dating back to the 1950s – for many lengthy shows, you can even choose your favorite version of the set as it evolves.
We’ve already talked about where to find custom backgrounds and how to use them – to get the BBC backgrounds, go to their archive page , select your favorite image, save it and upload it to Zoom.
If the BBC isn’t right for you, you can also track down photos of dozens of sets from major TV networks and streaming services, many of which have Twitter threads dedicated to customizable Zoom backgrounds from popular shows. You can search Twitter for specific shows, but here’s a quick list to get you started:
