The best zoom backgrounds to transport you during your video calls - Time Out New York

Your life may be on Zoom now, but it doesn't have to be boring—you can change your background to a place you'd rather be!

People are getting creative with what they're using during their meetings—from New York Public Library's beautiful interiors and exteriors to various scenes from popular shows that fans are bringing to their screens.

You can make pretty much anything your Zoom background, so long as it matches the aspect ratio of your camera, so for example, if your camera is set to 16:9, an image of 1280 pixels by 720 px or 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels would work best.

RECOMMENDED: You can download Zoom backgrounds of your favorite NYC bars for charity

So if you're missing your walk in Central Park or you want to "float" out in space, you can go for it. We've gathered some of the most amusing and fun Zoom backgrounds people have created here for your use. 

For the New York City reader

For the lifelong New Yorker

For the Central Park lover

For the Parks & Rec fan, like Mayor Pete

For the Real Housewives wannabes

For the artsy folk

For the Trekkie

For the meme fiend

For the Tiger King obsessed

For the Drag Race junkie

For the wildlife preserver

For the bohemian Broadway lover

For the Studio Ghibli fan

For the messy one

For the wishful fifth member of the Rose family

For the space nerd

For the date-goer

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species.
