Why Use Zoom Backgrounds?

There are lots of reasons a person might opt for a different background. Maybe it scratches the change-of-scenery itch. Maybe the room you’re in could use some tidying up. Or maybe—just maybe—you just think they’re fun.

How To Use Zoom Backgrounds

Step 1

After joining a Zoom call and enabling your video, hover your cursor over the window until you see the bottom menu. Click on the arrow next to the video icon, then click on “Choose Virtual Background.”

Step 2

In the window that opens, you’ll see several existing background options. If you’d like to add something new, click on the plus sign above the menu of virtual backgrounds. Select either “Add Image” or “Add Video,” depending on the file type of the background you’d like to use.
