Over the past month, businesses and schools have experienced a major change in their work environments. Now, employees and students are connecting online through Zoom, the popular video conferencing platform. Taking these calls at home also places the pressure of finding a clean, at-home space to chat in! In order to solve this issue, there is a feature which remote workers can use to make working with colleagues more fun: Zoom Backgrounds.
Now, you may not have heard about this feature, and you may be wondering, what it is and what it does. We are here to answer all of your questions.
1. What is a Zoom Background?
On the platform Zoom, there is a Virtual Background feature which allows the user to display an image or video as their background during a Zoom meeting. Examples include more professional options such as your company’s logo, an office space, a solid color background; or more playful options, such as the beach, a city, or your favorite destination spot!

4. What is The Purpose of a Zoom Background?
