You can now set your Zoom background to a scene from 'Parasite'

For the past few months, Zoom has been one of the go-to ways to communicate. Whether working from home or catching up with friends and family, the platform has played a big role in connecting people.

One of the more light-hearted features on the videoconferencing platform is the ability to choose a virtual background while chatting. And those keen on showing off their pop culture knowledge can now do so in a fun new way.

The Japanese Twitter account for Parasite, the South Korean film that won Best Picture at this year's Academy Awards, has unveiled five official stills that can be used as a background.

Directed by Bong Joon-ho, the film tells the story of a poverty-stricken family who cunningly place themselves at the service of the ridiculously wealthy Park family. There are twists and turns along the way, but we won't spoil it for you if you haven't seen it yet.

But whether it's the cramped underground toilet of the Kims' family home, or the lush, green space in front of the Park family's mansion, fans of the dark comedy will instantly recognise each image.

To download the background, you need to save the photo from the below Twitter post and then upload it to Zoom as a "virtual background".

Other popular Zoom backgrounds include the set of popular American TV sitcom Friends, Netflix hit docu-series Tiger King and even the Nintendo game Animal Crossing.

Back in February, Parasite made history as the first non-English-language film to win the Best Picture Oscar. It also won the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.
