Christmas tree backgrounds

Christmas tree backgrounds put a decorated tree at the centre of the scene — gold, silver, red-and-gold or a simple Scandinavian tree — or fill the frame with fairy lights and soft bokeh. These are free 1920 x 1080 images for a wallpaper or a call background.

Picking one that works

A tree in the middle of the frame is lovely as a wallpaper and awkward on a call, because your head covers it. If you want a tree behind you on Teams or Zoom, pick one where it stands to one side, like the Scandinavian corner or the cream-and-gold room.

The bokeh close-up is the odd one out: no room at all, just branches, baubles and blurred light. It makes a good desktop wallpaper because icons stay readable over the soft blur.

Whatever you choose, the setup is the same in every app: Teams, Zoom and Google Meet each hide the option in a different menu, and all three want the same 1920 x 1080 file.

Common questions

Which Christmas tree background is best for a video call?

One with the tree off to the side. The software cuts you out and places you in the middle of the frame, so a centred tree disappears behind your head for the whole call.

Can I use these as a Teams or Zoom background?

Yes. Download the image, then add it as a custom background: in Teams under Effects and avatars, in Zoom under Background & effects, in Google Meet under Apply visual effects. The how-to guides on this site walk through each one.

Will these work as a phone wallpaper?

Only partly. Every image is 1920 x 1080 landscape, built for a screen that is wider than it is tall. A phone set to portrait shows a narrow strip from the middle, so pick one with the interesting part in the centre, or use it on a laptop, desktop or tablet instead.
