How Do I Change the Background in Zoom?

Published in Technology 2 mins read

You can change your Zoom background by using the virtual background feature. This allows you to replace your actual background with a virtual image or video.

Here's how to change your Zoom background:

1. Open Zoom and Join a Meeting

First, open the Zoom app and join a meeting.

2. Access the Background Settings

  • During a Meeting: Click on the up arrow next to the "Stop Video" button. Then, select "Choose Virtual Background...".
  • Before a Meeting: Click on your profile picture in the top right corner. Select "Settings" and then "Background & Filters".

3. Choose a Background

You can choose from a variety of pre-designed backgrounds or upload your own image.

  • Pre-Designed Backgrounds: Zoom provides a selection of virtual backgrounds, including office spaces, nature scenes, and abstract designs.
  • Upload Your Own: You can upload your own image as a background by clicking on the "Add Image" button.

4. Adjust the Background

Once you've chosen a background, you can adjust its position and zoom level.

5. Apply the Background

Click on the "Apply" button to use your selected background.

6. Use the Blur Feature

If you don't want to use a virtual background, you can also blur your actual background. Click on the "Blur" option in the "Choose Virtual Background..." menu.

Remember that the virtual background feature may not work perfectly in all lighting conditions.
