Careers with STEM backgrounds

Professional backdrops for your video conferencing! Here’s how.

We’ve created STEM-themed screen backgrounds to help you video chat like a pro – while hiding the messy room/dog/rest of family/kitchen meal remains in the background. Students, teachers and STEM professionals can choose their favourite STEM background instead. All you need is the Zoom app and a computer with a processor that is Intel Core i5 with a quad core or better (check these requirements), or access to Microsoft Teams.
