What is how to change zoom background?

Here's how to change your Zoom background, broken down into simple steps:

Before You Start:

• System Requirements: Make sure your computer or mobile device meets the minimum system requirements for using the virtual background feature. Zoom has different CPU requirements depending on your operating system. You can find more information on the Zoom support site.
• Download/Update Zoom: Ensure you have the latest version of the Zoom application installed. An outdated version may not support the virtual background feature or may have bugs.
• Choose an Image or Video: Select a high-quality image or video you want to use as your background. Zoom recommends using images with a 16:9 aspect ratio for the best results. You can also use videos of various file types like MP4 or MOV.
• Solid Background (Optional): For the best virtual background effect, consider using a solid color backdrop (like a green screen). This helps Zoom more easily distinguish you from the background.

Changing Your Zoom Background:

1. In the Zoom Desktop Client (Computer):

   • During a Meeting: Click the up arrow (^) next to the "Stop Video" button in the meeting controls. Select "Choose Virtual Background..."
   • Before a Meeting: Open the Zoom desktop client, sign in, and click your profile picture, then click "Settings." In the settings menu, select "Backgrounds & Filters."

2. In the Zoom Mobile App (Phone/Tablet):

   • During a Meeting: Tap the "More" button (usually three dots). Select "Background and Filters."
   • Before a Meeting: Start a test meeting, tap "More", tap "Background and Filters".

3. Selecting Your Background:

   • In the "Backgrounds & Filters" window, you'll see a selection of default backgrounds provided by Zoom.
   • To upload your own image or video, click the "+" icon. Choose "Add Image" or "Add Video" to select the file from your computer or device.
   • Click on the background you want to use. It will be applied automatically.

4. Troubleshooting:

   • "I Have a Green Screen" Option: If you are using a green screen, check the box next to "I have a green screen." This will improve the quality of the virtual background.
   • Mirror Effect: If the background appears mirrored, uncheck or check the "Mirror my video" option.
   • Lighting: Ensure you have good lighting in your environment. Poor lighting can make the virtual background look choppy or unnatural.
