Hi! I just have a question about something with the zoom background. So, I changed my background for my zoom and I have used it for the past few months, and one day I had to take my background off. When I put the zoom background back on you couldn’t see my face, the background kept taking out parts of my face and I kept trying it even the next day and it didn’t work. So if you know how to fix this or have any tips that would help me a lot thanks!
Thanks so much. I have spent ages trying to figure out how to get rid of the background I had installed a while ago but couldn't remember how I did it. You answered my question in the first minute. Brilliant!
