This background comes to us from an all-timer of a comedy, in which Bill Murray’s Phil Connors finds himself awakening to an alarm clock blaring Sonny & Cher’s “I Got You Babe” each morning on an endless loop. We’re all Jeffries at the moment, watching in horror as harrowing events unfold just outside the safety of our homes-why not Zoom from his apartment while we’re at it? Set in Greenwich Village, the film was shot entirely on one set built on the Paramount lot, with the bulk of its action presented from this very vantage point. Jeffries (Jimmy Stewart) finds plenty of intrigue out of this essential Alfred Hitchcock thriller’s titular window after a leg injury forces him into becoming his New York City block’s unofficial neighborhood watchmen. Here are 10 ways to set the scene during your next Zoom meeting. Our images in this piece are a bit smaller, but the ratio is preserved.) (Note, the preferred Zoom background is 1920px by 1080px, or a 16:9 aspect ratio.
To help you do just that, we’ve assembled 10 images from an assortment of movies, both classic and contemporary, providing visual shortcuts to cinephile cred, as well as a way to keep your compatriots entertained while you’re busy gazing at each other so as not to gaze into the abyss.
And by personalizing your Zoom background with iconic settings from your favorite films, you can inhabit them in a whole new way. That’s the beauty of film, friends: It lets us escape such grim realities, plucking us out of our day-to-day and dropping us into new worlds.

This new normal presents a problem for those of us fortunate enough to still have jobs and/or friends: Face-to-face interaction is only ever a Zoom call away, making meetings that could’ve been emails (or hangouts that could’ve been “We should hang out sometime!”) an ever-present problem amid all the soul-snuffing isolation. Zoom, for all its privacy and security issues, has rocketed to household-name status in the days of social distancing, becoming the go-to digital meeting hub for personal and professional purposes alike.
