Zoom Tutorial: Virtual Backgrounds

This tutorial will show you how to add Virtual Backgrounds to Zoom Calls so you can add cool and custom backgrounds during your video calls. This effect is often done by using green screens, but Zoom makes virtual backgrounds very easy.

• No green required
• Add images, gifs, or videos to Zoom video calls
• You can add virtual backgrounds on the web or mobile versions.

Note: For this tutorial, I am using the Zoom version 4.6.11 on a Mac. You can also add virtual backgrounds on the Zoom mobile apps.

How To Add Virtual Backgrounds to Zoom:

Add Virtual Background from Settings or Toolbar:
- Settings Menu: look for the gear icon under your profile pic
- Toolbar: Hover cursor over video and toolbar will appear on the bottom.
