Do you want to feel like you are on the beach or the Starship Enterprise while making a video conference? Well, it’s very easy, here I am going to tell you how?
During this pandemic COVID-19, many of the organizations have gone virtual. Millions of people are using the Zoom platform to make video calls, conferences, webinars, online classes, and many more. And there is an interesting thing in Zoom while making a video call. You can change the background image if don’t want to display your messy backgrounds or maintain your privacy.
The background image though looks virtual but it will hold onto your bg image pretty well. It looks fun and mainly it’s important to hide all the clutters behind you in the room. After all in the professional calls, participants want to focus on you rather than the unmanaged background objects. Right??
If you don’t want others to know that you are using virtual background you need to make sure your system has the right requirements to change the background of Zoom.
