Many of us are working from home these days and meeting with friends and colleagues over video chat apps like Zoom. Now, you can add some personality to your next group call with these custom KTLA 5 News Zoom backgrounds!

With these backdrops, you can sit front and center on the main set and “deliver the news” to your team, or forecast the success of your next project in the weather center.

You can report breaking news to your colleagues, maneuver through your earnings report in the traffic center or play IT support for your work pals from the tech center.
