Made for the Seat in Front of the Camera

Most virtual backgrounds are wallpapers stretched behind a webcam. These were composed for it: eye-level rooms and glades with depth behind you, soft light that flatters a face, and the busy detail kept to the edges so your head and shoulders sit cleanly in the middle. A warm apothecary at sunset, a library grown inside a tree, a fireside cottage, an airship workshop above the clouds and three enchanted forests. Each one is a place in Airovale, an epic fantasy romance where time is the treasure, and a small mark in the corner is the only branding. Looking for phone and desktop art instead? Browse the fantasy steampunk wallpaper gallery.

📜  Free to Use & Questions

Are these Airovale virtual backgrounds free?
Yes. All eight backgrounds are free to download and use behind you on video calls, in personal, school or work meetings. No account or signup is required.
Can I use them in work meetings?
Yes. Using a background behind you in a meeting is fine, even a business meeting. What is not allowed is selling, redistributing or repackaging the images, for example in a background pack, template, app or product.
Can I edit a background or add my company logo?
Please don't. The scenes are free to use as they are, but not to modify: no recoloring, added logos or text, collage, or removing the small Airovale mark. The automatic cropping, blur and mirroring your meeting app applies is fine.
What size should a Zoom or Teams background be?
1920×1080 pixels (16:9) is the size Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Google Meet handle best, and it is the main download here. The original 3840×2160 (4K) file is also available for large displays or recording.
Why does the Airovale mark look backwards on my screen?
Most meeting apps mirror your own preview, so the mark appears reversed to you but reads correctly to everyone else on the call. In Zoom you can turn off “Mirror my video” under Settings › Video to check.
What is Airovale?
Airovale is an epic fantasy romance where time is the treasure, told as a novel, audiobook, ten-episode cinematic series and original soundtrack by Jef Gray. Every background is a place from its world.

Airovale — Frequently Asked Questions About the Book

Is the Airovale ebook the same story as the paperback or audiobook?

Yes — the story content is identical across all three formats. The only difference is the chapter illustrations, which appear in the ebook and paperback but not the audiobook.

Is Airovale worth reading if I already watched the episodes?

Absolutely. The video episodes present a glimpse of the scenery set to the soundtrack's emotional journey, while the book is where the characters' thoughts and dialogue come through — the full interior experience of the story.

Is Airovale appropriate for teens?

Airovale is appropriate for teens ages 16+. The content touches on mature themes including dueling, the penalty of death, greed, immortality, and coming-of-age young adult romance.

How much romance content is in Airovale?

The romance in Airovale is written at a young adult level, with no graphic content beyond a few kisses. It centers on the two main characters as their journey to a forbidden ruin reveals ancient secrets about the island they inhabit, and their relationship grows into love and a decision to be together.

Is there a content warning or spice level for Airovale?

No warning needed. Airovale is a romantic adventure story, safe for readers ages 16 and up, with no graphic moments beyond a kiss.

Is Airovale a series or a standalone book?

Airovale is a series. The first book introduces the story, and additional books — two or more to complete the arc — are currently in development.

Is there a comparable story to Airovale?

Not exactly. Steampunk fantasy with time travel exists, and fantasy with fae exists, but few stories combine both. The closest comparisons are Carnival Row (Amazon Prime Video) or The Anubis Gates (Tim Powers) — though Airovale is a wholly original fantasy world with no historical setting.

Is Airovale a book or a movie?

Primarily, Airovale is a story told through three lenses: book, video, and music. The website and companion channel (Roku TV) present short cinematic episodes alongside a complete original soundtrack, while the book is the deepest way to experience the full story — the center of the Airovale experience.
