How to Create a Custom Zoom Background For Work

If you're a regular Zoom user, you've probably noticed that the default backgrounds for video calls aren't exactly inspiring. And we're not talking about the typical background noise. We're talking about how boring it is to look at the same thing every time we call someone new. Why not make your life more fun with a custom background? It's easy—just follow these simple steps.

How to Create Your Own Zoom Background

Zoom backgrounds are the images that appear behind your avatar in Zoom meetings. They can be a great way to show off your brand or put some extra personality into your meetings.

To create a custom background for Zoom, you’ll need an image at least 1280 pixels wide by 1024 pixels tall. The best size for a Zoom background is 1920 x 1080 pixels (1080p). This will give you enough room for text and logos without taking up too much space on the screen.

Once you have your image, upload it to Zoom. Then, start a meeting and select “Custom Background” from the top menu.

Need Some Help Finding a Picture?

If you're looking for a specific picture and want to use it as your background, there are plenty of places where you can find exactly what you need.

• Google Images - Use this search engine to find photos from other websites or from collections that may be available for download.
• Pinterest - This social network is ideal for finding images by topic or color scheme. You can also search with keywords like “backgrounds” or “wallpapers” in the title field.
• Pixabay - This website lets users upload their own photos, which means there's no shortage of images here!
• Unsplash - A similar site that houses high-quality images under Creative Commons licenses (you'll have to follow certain rules if using these photos).
• Pexels - A collection of royalty-free stock pictures created by the community; it's an easy way to find quality images at no cost!

How to Upload a Zoom Background

• Go to the Zoom Backgrounds page on the Zoom website, located at https://explore.zoom.us/en/virtual-backgrounds/
• Browse the collection of Zoom backgrounds and choose one you'd like to download and use for your meeting room space
• Once you've chosen a background image, click on the "Upload" button in order to add it to your list of available backgrounds

How to Change Your Zoom Background

You can modify your background image in two different ways:

• The first way is to change the color scheme of your background. To do this, click on the color tab. This will bring you to a screen where you can choose from any of the preset colors or create your own custom color palette by mixing them together using sliders. Once you've chosen a new color scheme, save it and it will be applied automatically when you next open Zoom for Work!
• The second way is to upload an image file that becomes your background image. To do this, navigate over to "Settings -> Preferences-> Background & Filters -> Virtual Backgrounds. Upload and find out what files are already stored there by clicking "Show". If there are any files listed in this section (which should be none), select one and click "Upload Image." This will then display another window asking where on your computer you'd like this file saved before downloading into Zoom..
