Zoom Backgrounds From The Best Japanese Anime, Movie, and Games

As Zoom and other video meeting apps becoming a big part of your daily work, people are quickly adopting a new way of expressing themselves on the screen. Yes, I'm talking about the Zoom virtual background. You can also set a custom background on Google Meet and Microsoft Teams as well.

While Disney and other big production companies have offered a bunch of backgrounds, some of the Japanese Anime and Movie production companies have done the same. And so do some game studios.

So here are a list of wonderful images from Japanese anime and movies you to set up as a virtual background for your next video call.

They are all free to use for video conferences or meetings, but cannot be used for commercial use. Also, re-distribution is prohibited. Minor modifications / editing is permitted so that you can trim a bit if needed.
