Zoom has gained popularity as a video conferencing platform for both personal and business purposes. A standout feature of Zoom is its ability to change the background during a call. This adds a fun touch to your calls or can help create a more professional setting. Our article will walk you through the steps of creating a custom background on Zoom.
Step 1: Choose Your Background Image
The first step in setting up a custom Zoom background is to choose an image that you want to use. You can use any image that you have on your computer or device, but it should be high-quality and at least 1920×1080 pixels in size. Once you have chosen your image, save it somewhere easy to access.
Step 2: Open Zoom
Next, open the Zoom app on your computer or device. If you don’t already have Zoom installed, you can download it for free from the Zoom website.
Step 3: Join a Meeting
Once you have opened Zoom, join a meeting or start a new one. You will need to be in a call to change your background image.
Step 4: Access the Background Settings
During the call, click on the three dots in the bottom right corner of the screen and select “Background & Filters.” This will take you to a menu where you can adjust your background image.
Step 5: Select Your Background Image
In the Background & Filters menu, click on the plus sign next to “Virtual Background” and select the image that you want to use. You can also adjust the brightness, contrast, and saturation of your image from this menu.
Step 6: Preview Your Background
Once you have selected your background image and made any necessary adjustments, click on “Preview” to see how it will look during the call. You can also use the preview feature to adjust the position of your image if needed.
Step 7: Save Your Background
If you are happy with your background image, click on “Save Changes” to save it as your default background for future calls. You can also choose to apply the changes only to the current call or to all of your Zoom meetings.
