Using Zoom virtual backgrounds
What’s behind your camera video matters. That’s why Zoom created virtual backgrounds. It’s an amazing way to add depth of field, branding, and creativity to your next Zoom meeting. We don’t always have the ability to join meetings from a Hollywood backdrop. Sometimes, we are on our laptops in an airport, but still need to present during a meeting with a sense of professionalism. Virtual backgrounds from Zoom allow you as a meeting presenter or attendee to utilize this feature to brand a customer presentation or create an immersive and imaginative thought or idea during a meeting.
How to do it…
- Start or join a Zoom meeting.
- Navigate to the Video icon on your Meeting Control bar.
- Click the ^ to the right of your video icon:
