Use a Cheerleading Zoom Background to Make It Feel Like You’re in the Same Room

When you’re on a call with friends who are scattered all over the globe, a cheerleading zoom background can make it feel like you’re in the same room. Download one of the images below, save it to your computer, then use it as your “Virtual Background” on your next Zoom meeting.

When shooting cheer, you have to strike a balance between getting group shots that show off the routine and individual shots that let everyone see each person’s face and expression. Achieving a good out-of-focus (OOF) background for these shots isn’t easy, since you’re typically shooting at very long focal lengths and a shallow depth of field.

To get a good OOF background, you need to be far enough away that there is no detail in the foreground but close enough so that everything is sharp and in focus. Using a large aperture, such as f/2.8 or f/4, can help you achieve the effect, but you still need to be very careful to keep your focus on the subject and not any surrounding detail.

Add some pom-pom flair to your virtual happy hour with this cheerleading zoom background, perfect for your Zoom meeting when you’re catching up with Kim, Kylie, and the crew. Or let your coworkers know that you’re on island time with this beachy Zoom background, ideal for a mid-week virtual margarita. And, of course, no cheerleading background would be complete without a few of Cher and Tai’s judgmental stares.
