Zoom lets you change the background of your video call to an image of your choice. The ability to apply virtual backgrounds not only gives you a fresh way to present yourself in a meeting, but also adds a sense of privacy to what’s happening around you.
How to Blur the Background in Zoom
In addition to being able to change the background image, remote collaboration tools have also started including a background blur option. But can you use background blur on Zoom? That’s what this post is all about.
Yes. While Zoom was the first in the video conferencing world to allow users to change their background, the ability to apply a blur effect to your existing background didn’t come to Zoom until February 2021.
Microsoft Teams and Skype, on the other hand, already offer the ability to blur the background of your video feed, while Google plans to roll this out to its Meet service soon as well.
