Business as unusual.

02The Premise

The Best Part? Nobody Sees It Coming.

Your coworkers think they’re looking at an ordinary office.

Then a chicken gets coffee.

A mailroom employee flees the police.

A conference meeting turns into a brawl.

And you? You’re just sitting there discussing quarterly projections.

That’s the joke.

You’re the only normal person in the room.

03How It Works

Three Steps. Zero Technical Talent.

  1. Step 1: Pick it.

    Find a background that makes you laugh.

  2. Step 2: Download it.

    Pay $5.99. Get your video instantly. Optimized for Zoom. Ready for your next meeting.

  3. Step 3: Use it.

    Add it to Zoom as your virtual background. That’s it.

No subscriptions. No special software for supported Zoom installations. No complicated setup.

Installation guide: Zoom desktop app

Add a video background in Zoom

  1. Download your background. It’s a standard MP4 file.
  2. Open the Zoom desktop app on Windows or macOS and sign in.
  3. Click your profile picture, then Settings.
  4. Choose Background & effects (called Backgrounds & Effects or Virtual Background in some versions).
  5. Click the + button and choose Add Video.
  6. Select your Living Office MP4. It will start playing behind you.

Already in a meeting? Click the arrow next to Stop Video, choose Choose Virtual Background, and add it there.

Compatibility

  • Designed for the Zoom desktop app on Windows and macOS. Zoom’s web client and mobile apps may not support video backgrounds.
  • Your computer must meet Zoom’s requirements for video virtual backgrounds. If Zoom only offers images, or asks for a green screen, your computer may not support them.
  • Zoom accepts MP4 or MOV video backgrounds up to 1920×1080. Ours are exactly that.
  • Google Meet doesn’t support uploading your own video backgrounds, so these files won’t work there directly.
  • Other apps vary. Please check that yours accepts custom MP4 backgrounds before you buy.
