How to Change your Background in Zoom - 2024 Update

Want to take your Zoom meetings to the next level? Changing your background is a game-changer, and it's very easy to do.

First, open up your Zoom app and head to the settings. Click on "Background and Effects," and you'll see some built-in options like cityscapes and landscapes. But the real magic happens when you upload your own photos or videos. Just click the plus sign and choose an image from your computer. Boom, instant virtual makeover!

Pro tip: if you want an even cleaner look, try using a green screen. Don't have one? No worries, just pick a slightly blurry background image for a similar effect. And make sure your camera is at eye level for a natural, engaging vibe.

Once you've got your background sorted, it'll automatically show up in your meetings. Need to switch it up mid-call? Just click the arrow next to "Start Video" and change it on the fly.

If you're on the hunt for some professional-looking backgrounds, check out Envato Elements. It's an affordable subscription with tons of high-quality images to choose from.
