Today’s Solutions: April 20, 2026

If your workplace does any graphic design work, chances are you have heard of Canva. We at the Optimist Daily use Canva every day to bring our stories to life with graphics and images, so we were excited to learn about their new customizable video chat backgrounds that are making socially distanced meetings more fun. 

Their site features a wide variety of background options for all occasions. Whether you’re hosting family bingo night or a weekly staff meeting, there’s plenty of options to choose from. Top backgrounds include famous museums, underwater seascapes, and simple neutrals when you need something more professional. 

In March, we shared a guide on how to host the ultimate virtual happy hour. These backgrounds are a great way to easily decorate your at-home cocktail hour. Check out their site at the link below to see all their fabulous options and try one out during one of your video chats today!
