Using Virtual Backgrounds
You can choose your virtual background when you first join the event, or you can click the Connection Panel to choose a background later. You can change the background during the event if desired.
Click the Virtual Background icon to choose a background or blur.
Some suggestions for best results with virtual backgrounds are as follows:
- Use a high-contrast, solid-color backdrop, preferably a green screen. A matte, non-reflective background works best.
- Keep your background surface close to you.
- Don’t wear clothing that’s the same color as your background or the virtual background.
- For best results have a solid color wall behind you. A lot of clutter behind you will yield lower quality results.
