These are awesome @HPWUmac thank you!
I have a boss or two who should be using the Dolores Umbridge background...
@HPWUmac That's awesome!!! 😃 Thanks😊
@HPWUmac Would it be inappropriate to use them for teaching online? Asking for a friend.
@HPWUmac They only seem to save as webpage images, and I don't really want to share them to FB or Twitter. I just want to download the image.
@Magpie31 I'm seriously considering finding out.
Thank you!!! How fun.😎
I will use these for sure; thanks so much! Any chance that we can get the Astronomy Tower one? That one was my favourite. Oh, and Dumbledore's office!
ETA: I can't download these as image files that I can use. Format is Google WebP and Zoom doesn't recognize them, and I can't get them to open on my Mac at all. What is the secret?
Love the view from the corner! It gives such a different perspective on all of the portkeys!
Thanks @HPWUTeam these are fantastic!!😍
@Plan9 Oh no!! That is scary to hear.
@VoiceMaster and @SlugAndJiggers Thank you for letting me know; I'll get the photos uploaded as JPGs shortly!
@VoiceMaster @SlugAndJiggers Meanwhile, you may open the .webp file with a photo editor (I used Paintbrush on Mac/ Paint on Windows), and save the image as JPEG or PNG file. Cheers!
Let me know if these files work! Thank you 😀
@hpwulola @HPWUblue It is like a team pile up in here! I imagine you as a bunch of kittens all pouncing on each other!
It is so nice to see so many of the team active on the forum at the moment!
@hpwulola Thanks for the jpg files - they're perfect. I appreciate you going to the trouble to provide them. I will be attending tomorrow's Zoom meeting from Honeydukes. :)
How do I use these as a background?
@Keybounce It depends on which app you use for video calls. I can show you how to set them as virtual backgrounds on Zoom calls.
I hope this helps. Have a magical experience!
I may or may not have run a class from Borgin and Burkes last week.
I definitely had a family zoom session while sitting in umbrage's office! 😂
OMG, this is so cool! Thank you! I can't wait to use them for work! lol
Is there a possibility of also adding the Common Rooms as a background as well? #TeamHufflepuff
Thank you So much for these @HPWUmac!
Going to download them mobile background wallpapers rather than for video calls! I looooooooooove a good mobile wallpaper!
@hpwulola these files work better. Thank you all for just being awesome on all the updates! @HPWUTeam
I love these! I will definitely start using a couple! :)
What a fab idea.
Any chance of the Great Hall, the Common Rooms, Library, Ollivanders....ooh or my favourite The Burrow ❤️
Thank you for sharing these! @hpwulola
I’ll be sure to use these during my video calls. 🙂
Great :D This month, I have been using the Three Bromsticks background!
@hpwulola & @HPWUblue can we get the common room portkeys for backgrounds? 🍒🍒🍒
Also I think I'd have to leave the meeting if I joined and saw Umbridge's office😝
When I click on the links it just opens them as a webpage. No option to save image other than as a webpage. When I try to copy image and paste into paint and save as jpg or png the picture becomes grainy and not formatted to size correctly. Any suggestions?
Love these so much! @hpwulola Any chance of additional backgrounds we could get? There have been some other fun portkeys (like the great hall)?
