There are no size restrictions when adding your own virtual backgrounds, but we recommend cropping the image to match the aspect ratio of your camera before uploading it.Įxample: If your camera is set to 16:9, an image of 1280 by 720 pixels or 1920 by 1080 pixels would work well.Do not wear clothing that is the same color as the virtual background.Higher quality cameras result in a better virtual background.Recommended physical green screens from Webaround or Amazon.

You can also use Virtual Background in a Zoom Room, or a simpler Mask Background feature in the web client. You can upload your own images or videos as a virtual background, or use nothing and just blur the background instead. This feature works best with a physical green screen and uniform lighting to allow Zoom to detect the difference between you and your background, although a physical green screen is not required.

The Virtual Background feature allows you to display an image or video as your background during a Zoom meeting.
