Thanks for information. Are there any options if I do not have the background option choices you show in Zoom. When I deselect the "I have a green screen" I receive a message that my computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements. Any other options?

[KatieMehnert]

How do you avoid others not being able to see you against the background? I cannot see myself...only parts?

[JillToday]

YOU ARE GREAT!!! Thanks for all the easy tips for doing things in Zoom I couldn't do before

Great! By the way, how could I resize so that I could look bigger in the Zoom video and the vitual background would appear smaller or less? Thanks

[saadiabokhari]

Super!! Thank you so much, I've been struggling with this since I subscribed to Zoom!! Quick, to the point and no fuss, I loved this video!

[britneyfuraha]

great video it's been helpful thanks.

[judyleshinski]

I followed your tutorial which was very helpful downloading a picture from the google images. When I placed it in my zoom virtual background, it came up as the background, but placed me behind the background instead of in front of it. How can I reverse it? Thank you.

[intercommradio]

Thank you for sharing, I do want to know how can I take myself from being in front of my virtual background. Thanks again

I folloed your instructions. However,
my MacBook gave a error message on Zoom : "your Mac OS version needs to be 10.13 or higher and, your processor must be an Intel Core i5 with a quad-core or better." Solutions?

[veneethraghavan]

Will this work on Intel corei3. Kindly guide me.

[garyluker]

Great Great video!!!! Thank you! I was thinking about building a green wall but you just saved me time, money and effort!

[lightworker]

Can you have the background loaded before the Zoom call connects?

[felita.s]

In my case there's only two option between the device cam and same as system, so how can i choose the virtual background then?

[bourbonshowdown]

The green screen option works great when its just me, but my podcast microphone is going in and out of the green screen. How can I make sure my mic stays in the shot too when using green screen?

[sahilnayyar]

What are some good examples of appropriate background?

[mariemartinez]

I don't have an arrow option by my camera? How can I find the arrow?
