Hi everybody. I wanted to share a quick video I made to show off one of my favorite features of Zoom. Now while it may seem like a silly feature, I promise there's some utility there. Imagine, that you are forced to work from home for an indeterminate amount of time, and let's say that 3 days into that time, you've already ran out of energy to keep your home up to your peers' cleaning standards. Well ZOOM TO THE RESCUE! By using the Virtual Backgrounds feature, you can turn that filthy hole slightly messy bedroom, into anything your heart desires. It's super simple to setup and works remarkably well. Checkout the video below for a guided how to and an example of what it looks like.



TLDW:

  • Open Zoom Settings
  • Choose Virtual Background
  • Add images or choose an existing background
