Self-isolation is forcing everyone to wring their creative juices. Luckily, your imagination can be steered into any direction you want with the help of virtual backgrounds for all sorts of Zoom calls, PG and non-PG.

Airbnb hopes to bring the world’s gorgeous homestays into your own abode with free immersive video call backdrops from real-life vacation havens, placing you in a bamboo house in Bali, Indonesia, a glass pod in Urubamba, Peru, or a stunning hideout somewhere else in the world.

Airbnb hosts also began offering online experiences that internet users can enjoy at home during the lockdown.

While it’s unclear when people will be allowed to travel again, these picturesque backgrounds will help you visualize your next trip. Whether or not they will satisfy your wanderlust isn’t guaranteed.
