USA: School Of Law Washington Have Your New Zoom Backgrounds Sorted For Next Week’s Meetings!

What to do when not overly busy ?  This obviously !

While they don’t solve for the occasional pet cameo or muted microphone, these custom UW Law Zoom backgrounds are sure ways to add some flair to new digital learning environments.

With the university-wide move to fully remote operations this spring, virtual classrooms and online meetings are integral parts of daily life for the UW Law community.

Now, Law Dawgs around the globe can bring campus home to their own Zoom workspaces — from law classrooms and courtyard crystals to Dubs exploring outer space.

Transform a home office into a stunning view of the law school from Parrington Lawn. Replace a bedroom wall with UW’s cherry-blossom-lined quad. Turn the dining table into a stage for a purple-and-gold-themed laser show.

Whatever fits your style best, download a background to get started.
