Zoom Background

After starting or joining a meeting, click the up arrow next to the video icon in the lower left corner. Then, click 'Choose Virtual Background...' and add your background by clicking the + sign. You can also tick the 'I have a green screen' checkbox if applicable.

Wear darker colors to avoid blending into the background. If you don't have a green screen, use a simple background like a white wall. Also, ensure good lighting and avoid wearing red, white, or black as they can cause lighting issues.

Connect to the internet using a LAN cable instead of WiFi for a faster and more stable connection. Additionally, sit near a window for better lighting, but avoid direct sunlight to prevent harsh shadows.

Some useful shortcuts include recording the call (⌘Cmd+Shift+R or Alt+R), sharing your screen (⌘Cmd+Shift+S or Alt+Shift+S), muting audio (⌘Cmd+Shift+A or Alt+A), and inviting people (⌘Cmd+I or Alt+I).

Turn on your camera to increase engagement and creativity. Use an online whiteboard for brainstorming, and consider a 'no multi-tasking honor system' to ensure everyone's full attention. Randomly ask for input from quieter team members to keep everyone engaged.

This website is a directory of Zoom background images and videos. It links to the original sources of the backgrounds and does not host the images itself. You can browse and download backgrounds for your Zoom meetings.

Use the 'Touch Up My Appearance' feature to soften your display's focus. Sit near a window for good lighting, wear Bluetooth headphones for better audio, and ensure proper framing by placing your head slightly below the top of the video box.
