United Airlines knows you may be suffering from cabin fever and missing flying after these days of pandemic isolation and quarantine. So, they’ve come up with a fun little project – offering you a way to have United-themed photos be the virtual background on your Zoom profile.  Here’s what the Hub Team has to say:

Calling all AvGeeks and travelers! Here’s a fun way to take your next video call….from a United Polaris® seat, the cockpit or cruising altitude. We’re introducing United-themed backgrounds for use on Zoom, a video conferencing tool that many people are using to stay connected.

So for your next meeting or catch up with friends and family, download the app to either your computer or mobile device to get started. If you’ve already downloaded Zoom you can skip ahead to updating your background image (see instructions below).

  1. Start here by downloading your favorite United image to your computer or mobile device. Just click “download” in the bottom left corner of the image.

  2. Next go to your Zoom app (you’ll need to download the app to access backgrounds) and click on the arrow to the right of your video camera icon in the bottom of the screen.

  3. From here select, “choose virtual background” to upload your uniquely United photo.

On this LINK, you’ll find many fabulous United Airline photos such as a United Aircraft cockpit:

There are even more on the website to choose from.

So, while you may not be able to actually fly the Friendly Skies right now, you can at least look like you are soaring up high when you are Zooming!!!

Stay safe!
