Zoom Backgrounds.
To download a zoom background onto your computer, put your cursor on the image you prefer and right-click (ctrl-click on a mac) and save the image to your computer or tablet. On a phone, press and hold the image you prefer and follow directions to save it.
To turn on a virtual background during a meeting:
- Once you are in your Zoom meeting, click the upward arrow (^) next to “Start/Stop Video.”
- Click Choose Virtual Background….
- Choose the background you saved onto your device by clicking the “+” sign and choosing the file.
- If the text appears backwards, click the “mirror my video” button.
Not working? Make sure your Virtual Background feature is enabled:
- Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
- In the navigation menu, click Settings.
- In the Meeting tab, scroll down to the Virtual Background option (under the “In Meeting [Advanced]” section) and verify that the setting is enabled.
Notes:
- If the setting is disabled, click the status toggle to enable it. If a verification dialog displays, choose Turn On to verify the change.
- If the option is grayed out, it has been locked at either the group or account level, and you will need to contact your Zoom administrator.
