Zoom in to your video meetings in style with KBS-themed backgrounds

04.29.20 COVID-19 resources, Stories and blog posts

Do you miss the sights of the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station? You’re not alone. If you work or study in the Academic/Stack buildings, conduct research in the fields of Kellogg Farm, volunteer at the Manor House, enjoy delicious meals at McCrary Dining Hall, or regularly visit the Bird Sanctuary, you know how special a place KBS is.

Video meetings have become a ubiquitous part of the day-to-day routine for many of us. Be outstanding in the field (or in the classroom, on the lakeshore, at the estate or on the trail) with a KBS-themed background.

Click on your favorite image to enlarge it, then right-click, select Save Image As, and save it to your device. From there, follow the directions for adding a custom background in Zoom.

Is there a scene we’ve missed? Let us know. Be well!
