Virtual Backgounds
The virtual background feature allows you to display an image or video as your background during a Zoom Meeting. This feature works best with a green screen and uniform lighting, to allow Zoom to detect the difference between you and your background.
Please note that the virtual background require higher processing power and may not function on all computers.
