One of the brands that has recently made images available as virtual backgrounds is HBO. In fact, the popular network's website has an entire page dedicated to backgrounds, offering a variety of images and from some its most popular shows. For example, you could download and use an Iron Throne background from Game of Thrones, pick from a couple of Westworld scenes, or even position yourself in the chair from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. These images are all free to download and are specifically designed for use with virtual conference calls.

Regardless of which image you want to use, the process of actually adding it as a virtual background is surprising easily. However, it does differ slightly depending on the device used. For example, those accessing Zoom through the smartphone app will first need to be taking part in a video call before they can access the background option in settings. In this sense, the easier way to add a Game of Thrones or Westworld background is through the desktop version of Zoom.

Opting for the desktop route requires the Zoom user to be logged into their account. Following which, the Virtual Background option can be found by clicking on the profile icon in the top-right corner, followed by Settings. This will take the user to the main Zoom background page interface where they can either use the + icon to upload their own image or choose from the limited selection of default backgrounds provided by Zoom. Once an image has been either uploaded or chosen, it is then just a matter of hitting save for the changes to take effect.

It is worth keeping in mind that once a background is added and used, it technically becomes the default backdrop going forward. Although, removing or replacing the Game of Thrones or Westworld background can be done at any time by repeating the same Zoom background instructions once again.
