There are tons of Google Meet virtual background download options. You have so many to choose from — some examples include nature scenes, video game stills, the Golden Gate Bridge, and even the White House press room. There's even a virtual background with the Simpsons' living room couch!

As you may conclude, not all of these backgrounds are appropriate for work environments. They also do not convey a professional image, which is crucial for even video conference meetings. Whether your meeting attendees are company employees or you're meeting virtually with clients, you want that consistent professional image and atmosphere. 

Now that we've discussed what may not work for your meetings let's look at which Google Meet virtual backgrounds are best. You want to pick clean, attractive backgrounds and perhaps on the minimalist side. Ideally, your background should look like an actual office space. Fortunately, virtual office backdrops come in a wide variety of scenes:

• Meeting and conference rooms

• Office lounges and sitting areas

• Office workspaces with desks and computers

• Open interior spaces with window walls

Images like these are attractive and pleasing to the eye, but they're also not distracting. They're much better than plain-colored or funny backgrounds, but they also help hide away clutter and less desirable things present in employees' home spaces. Even better, they can be customized with other elements — text, company logos, and so forth.
