You can use the Virtual Background feature from Zoom to change your background for meetings. You can display an image or a video as your background.

A realistic Zoom virtual background works best with a physical green screen in a space with uniform lighting. This allows Zoom to more efficiently detect the difference between you and your background so it can separate the two easily. Once you have downloaded your free background, simply upload it to your zoom account.

First of all, make sure your desktop or mobile meets Zoom’s minimum prerequisites. While most systems can support a background without a real green screen, the following processors cannot:

• i7-5xxxU series processors with 2 cores
• i5-5xxxU/5xxxH/5xxxR/5xxxC series processors with 2 or 4 cores

The best effect will be created using a solid color screen. Green is the most highly recommended color. You can find green screens on Amazon or from other online merchants.

There is one important thing to remember about your solid color background: don’t wear any clothes of the same color. That would create an awkward sight for Zoom meeting attendees…

If you want your background to appear with the highest quality possible, you’ll need a higher-quality camera. The higher quality your camera is, the better your Zoom background will appear.

The more consistent the lighting is in the space you use for Zoom meetings, the better. Uniform lighting will create the best possible effect.

You must enable “virtual background” for your background to appear in your next Zoom meeting. This must be done outside of the Zoom client while it is inactive.

1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal as an administrator
2. Use the navigation menu to click “account management” then “account settings”
3. In the “meeting” tab, find the “virtual background” option under the “Meeting (advanced)” section
4. Verify that virtual background is enabled
5. If the setting is off, click the toggle to enable it
6. If you want this setting mandatory for all users, click on the lock option and lock the setting in place

To use your new free Zoom background, first sign into the Zoom desktop client. Click on your profile picture and then click through to settings.

You will find “Virtual Background” displayed. From here, you can select your background. Then, sign out and sign back in.

Once you sign back in, you can test whether your background works. You can test your green screen and make the other relevant adjustments to make sure your background appears properly.

During your meeting, you can scroll over the arrow beside “Start Video”. Click on “Choose Virtual Background”. You may need to download a package for a background if you don’t have a green screen set up.

Otherwise, if all your settings are enabled, your Zoom Background will be displayed during your meeting.

Zoom backgrounds are great in many situations. Why go through all the work of setting up the perfect background space when all you need is a green screen? After that, just download the free backgrounds you want others to see.

Switching between backgrounds is easy and free. Once you have your Zoom settings set up, switching is easy. You can shift between casual and business backgrounds quickly between meetings.
