Zoom is a widely-used video conferencing tool that enables individuals to communicate with each other from different locations. A notable function of Zoom is its option to disable your camera while in a meeting or on a call. This feature is handy if you have to momentarily leave your computer or if you’d rather not show your face as you listen to another participant speaking.
Step 1: Open Zoom
To change the camera off picture on Zoom, you first need to open the app. You can do this by clicking on the Zoom icon on your desktop or by opening the app from your mobile device.
Step 2: Join a Meeting
Once you have opened Zoom, you will be prompted to join a meeting. You can either enter the meeting ID and password provided by the host or click on the “Join” button to join a meeting that has already started.
Step 3: Turn Off Your Camera
To turn off your camera, simply click on the video icon in the bottom left corner of your screen. This will switch off your camera and display a black box instead of your face.
Step 4: Change the Camera Off Picture
If you want to change the picture that is displayed when your camera is turned off, you can do so by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner of your screen. From there, select “Settings” and then “Video.” Scroll down until you see the option to “Choose a profile picture or video” and click on it.
Step 5: Select Your Preferred Picture
You can either choose an image from your computer or device’s photo library or take a new picture using your camera. Once you have selected the image you want to use, click “Save” and it will be displayed when your camera is turned off.
Conclusion
Changing the camera off picture on Zoom is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. By following these instructions, you can customize your Zoom experience and choose an image that represents you when you’re not on camera.
