New Zealand / Covid 19

Zoom backgrounds from around New Zealand

18:26 pm on 9 April 2020

As we head into a long weekend with little options but to stay inside, we might decide to chat with some friends and family via Zoom.

Given Zoom gives us the option of changing our backgrounds, we thought it might be nice to remind ourselves, and our friends and family, what the great outdoors look like.

With people isolating at home, there's no better time to showcase the beauty of Aotearoa to our friends overseas, or perhaps show off your hometown to others around the country.

Feel free to pinch any of the below and switch your background.
