The home desk is rarely cluttered and organized. On bad days, it looks like a small tornado tore through it. And that gets worse when you get an invitation to a Zoom video call midway. I mean the perfect recipe for a panic attack. But before you allow that to begin, can you calmly handle it and create a virtual background for your Zoom meeting? Yep, you read that right.
Zoom’s virtual background feature is cleverly designed to cover your background. That way, whether it’s a messy shelf or a hallway, everything stays hidden.
Edge detection is spot on and you won’t find strange patterns or masks sticking out of place. So you should try virtual wallpapers in Zoom and we’ll tell you where to start. And yes, we also have some great wallpapers for you to use in your meetings and video conferences.
All you need to do is download them via the link at the bottom of each image.
Start.
How to set virtual wallpaper when zooming
Step 1: Launch Zoom and you will see a Settings icon in the upper right corner.
Step 2: Click on it and select the Virtual Background option on the left menu and you will see a few pre-loaded wallpapers.
If you are using it for the first time, you will have to download the entire package. It only takes a few minutes.
After downloading the pack, choose a background from the list and it will be applied immediately.
Also, you can try the videos. Compared to images, preloaded videos look much more interesting, all thanks to their subtle transitions.
The only thing you need to keep in mind is that the background won’t work well if you wave or move around a lot in the camera’s view.
Also, a lot also depends on how your PC handles graphics. That means if your computer performs better if it has a dedicated GPU, such as dedicated integrated graphics for laptops or graphics cards for desktops.
How to add a new virtual wallpaper in Zoom
Thankfully, if you’re not satisfied with the existing wallpapers in Zoom, you can also add a custom background.
To add a new virtual wallpaper in Zoom, go to the Virtual Background settings and click the little Plus icon, as shown below.
Select Add image from the list, choose an image or video from your PC’s internal storage, and that’s about it.
So you’ve got a brand new and unique backdrop for your next Zoom meeting. Well, you can thank me later.

Bonus zoom tips and tricks
1. Edit your appearance
Yes, just like smartphones and camera apps these days, Zoom also gives you the option to improve the look of your skin.
To enable this feature, go to Video settings and check the box next to Edit my look.
2. Choose Location For Each Record
You just learned that Zoom allows you to record your video calls and conferences. By default, Zoom saves these video files in the Documents folder.
The meeting time and name are included in the folder name, but when unchecked, these files can be mangled. And it will waste your time when you have to open every file to check the content.
Therefore, you should save the recordings in a location of your choice when you end the meeting each time.
To do that, go to Settings > Recording and select the first option ‘Choose where to save the recording after the meeting is over’, as shown in the screenshot above.
Zoom in!
Whether it’s a messy house or a messy backdrop, a virtual backdrop can help mask reality for a long time. And not only that, you can also share your joy in such calls and meetings.
All you need to do is find a funny image to set as the background.
