If you walk outside in beautiful nature, that can enhance your emotions, replenish your cognitive well-being or make you feel good in general. But the restorative effects of nature can also be translated into pictures on the wall, plants in your office or a virtual background during Zoom.

Adam Palanica, a scientist at Klick Applied Sciences who coordinated research looking at the effect of Zoom backgrounds, commenting to MM&M for its recent report, “Science: Your Zoom background matters.” The firm’s research found that “a simple change to one’s Zoom background—to a nature-related image—may be all it takes to sharpen focus, enhance creativity and even serve as a balm to overall psychological well-being,” according to the report.
