You may have seen the creative backgrounds people are using on Zoom<\/strong>. They are great if you don’t want colleagues to see your choice of home decor (or the pile of ironing on the bed!). But how do you add a background to your Zoom chat? And what if you’re after something a little more professional?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoom’s virtual background<\/strong> feature allows you to display an image or video as your background during a meeting.  It’s simple to set up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Sign in to the Zoom desktop client<\/a> (or install the Zoom Client<\/a> to your PC)<\/li>
  2. Click your profile picture then click Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>
  3. Select Virtual Background<\/strong>.<\/li>
  4. select ‘+’ to choose a virtual background and browse to an image<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    A selection of corporate backgrounds can be downloaded from the University Photo Library<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A detailed how-to guide can be found on the Zoom website<\/a><\/strong>. Please note<\/strong>, your computer or device\u00a0must<\/strong>\u00a0meet the\u00a0minimum system requirements<\/a><\/strong>. How well it works can also depend on your physical environment (e.g. background and lighting).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
