Go to https://zoom. us/signin and sign into your account. Click Settings or My Meeting Settings in the left panel. Scroll down to the “Virtual Background” header in the right panel. If the switch is blue, you are ready to set a virtual background and can move to the next step. If the switch is gray, tap it to turn it blue now, and then restart Zoom. If you don’t see this option or can’t move the switch, ask your team admin to enable Virtual Backgrounds for you.

If you don’t have a green screen but do have a recent Intel i5 or i7 processor and see a Download option under “Enable smart virtual background,” click it to emulate a green screen. This makes it so you can select multiple colors in your background and replace them with a single image. A multi-colored background won’t allow Zoom’s camera settings to replace a single color with another image, so the result will look pixelated and broken.

To disable the virtual background, click None from the list of available backgrounds. If you’re already in a meeting, you can change your background by clicking the up arrow (^) next to “Start/Stop Video” and selecting “Choose a virtual background. " You’ll see the same “Virtual Backgrounds” box appear like the previous steps. [1] X Research source
