Want to perk up your Zoom meetings?

Try changing your background image. Here's how:

  • Sign in to your Zoom account.
  • Go into Settings.
  • Under Settings, select Virtual Background.
  • Choose one of the existing virtual backgrounds, or click on the + sign to upload your own.
  • Be creative!

To use virtual background without a green screeen on a Mac, 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.  Otherwise you must prepare a green screen.

Thanks to Professor Chris Hunter for providing a sample background, in which he appears to be sunning himself at a beach resort (or is he really there - you decide!).
