Zoom Backgrounds

Zoom is provided free of charge for current students, faculty, and staff at Dartmouth. You automatically have a Dartmouth Zoom account. Just install the software and you'll be ready to go!

While we're apart, we wanted to help you Zoom on back to some of your favorite place at Dartmouth, so enjoy these background images for you Zoom calls.

Did you know you can change your Zoom background?

This feature was created to hide what's behind you in case you can't find a blank wall. Why not make it fun? Whether you're missing campus, want to virtually hangout on the Green, or meet your with your club in your favorite Collis space - we're here for you!
