Hi Scott, You can actually make a transparent logo in ppt itself by inserting it into a rectangle shape and adjusting the transparency thru the 'format picture/picture or texture fill' option. You can also group the background and the logo and save it as a picture directly from ppt. : ).

Thank you for your tutorial here. You make it easier and understandable to make my own screen. Really appreciate. I watch a few and I am still blur but your teaching is a blessing. TQ.

Found this very helpful. And your energy, zeal and passion makes one to be very interested. Thanks a lot!

Thanks so much for sharing this! PowerPoint worked super well! Also, for slightly higher resolution, you can go to file --> download --> save as PNG as set as virtual background using that image! That's how I did it using Google Slides

Love it. You are the best teacher ever. I am referring you to everybody I know. Thank you for sharing. Keep producing these award winning video. I salute you Master Teacher. You are your name and your name is you. Keep it simple!!!

Thanks for the information, Scott. I've been using the virtual background for the logo prior to this video clip. When it comes to "Mirror my video" feature, the viewers will not see the mirrored screen as the owner sees. The benefit from using "Mirror my video" is you will not be confused when you're controlling your body as if you're looking at a mirror. Basically, the logo does not need to be produced based on the mirrored image. The viewers will see the right image and video because mirrored video is only applied to yourself.

Hi Scott, thanks a lot for this video, it is very clearly explained. I have followed your steps and managed to save a darkish colour background for Zoo. However I still can see my books and bedroom mixed with the photo. How can I make so that nothing in my bedroom can be seen? Thanks a lot!

This man needs more views. I need it for my music meeting lol.

Nice video. It looks simple enough even for me (not a tech person) to try.

2 important points: Since Zoom is sorta in a slight updating / "support all the crowds" mode, you must keep this particularly wonderful episode Fresh; next point, I know you want to spread or populate the Zoom community with your message, explain a bit more regarding how people not from northern Europe will have their appearance affected by the different colors of backgrounds. Well done, Dude, again.

Would be great to have a tutorial on the new Powerpoint slides as background feature in Zoom.

I need to know when i have some others on a meeting, how i personalize the general screen background instead the black screen color??

excellent explanation, clear voice, talking not too fast, all are great. Good job. If you can add a video about motion background will be great too.

Do you have to be the host of the zoom call to be able to do the above? I am work calls and want to hide my background and do not see it as an option and when I try to follow your steps I dont see where I can do that unless I go into my personal zoom account. All my other co workers are using it so there must be away - user error no doubt

I have a question. Can I make my KZread videos with zoom with virtual background. As then I won't need to do editing for green screen. As that is too time consuming. So I can just record my talks with virtual background and viola my Video is ready with beautiful scenes in background . What do you think ?? Is it ok to do it. 2 ND question is I want to talk these videos with virtual background and me with my Android phone how can I do this. 3 Rd question How to use Lav Mike with my zoom and Android phone or which Mike should I get affordable cost for this? Thanks in advance

Hello Mike, thank you that was a really great tutorial. Just a question , i use a Mac and i dont have Microsoft Paint. Is there a default option on Mac to cut and past the image from PP ? Thank you. Glenn

Very helpful. Loved the step by step directions. However, I had that ghosting and will need to find a good screen for darker skin. You mention a dark background, but that won't work because my skin will blend in. So would a lighter background with a green screen help with the ghosting? What do you suggest for backgrounding for me in particular?

How may I substitute a photo in the person block in Zoom meetings (no camera)?

If you use a video background does it loop? If so, what is a good length of time?

Hi, thank you for your help. I am facing an issue. How do I "hit print the screen" I do not seem to see or have that option. I am on Imac. Thank you for your response.

Whats the latest version which i can add video files??? I know of 4.6.4, is there a later one cause I can't sign in with that old of version. Any help? Thx

Great tips. I found I had to start a meeting first before I could get to the settings buttons to upload my custom background. From my home page there is no settings box in the upper right, only on the left where I can turn on that virtual background button. What am I missing? :-) [in the end I got the background uploaded but not sure why I needed to start a meeting first]

Yep, good video, sadly my iMac i3 processor with 16 gigs ram apparently is not sufficient. Which is hard to believe.

I have searched far and wide to find out how to fix my video that is stuck on a Semi-Blur background when I select "None". This is a recent problem. (So video requirements are likely met by my 2021 MacBook Pro). How do I get back the clear, sharp background that I used to have when I selected NONE! Selecting BLUR gives me an even more blurred background, but does not help. to unstick the problem when I click NONE Many others have complained about stuck NONE selections that give unwanted effects like a pink glow. I really hate this blurred background! How can get back a clear. sharp background with no virtual background? I am so glad to have found your program!

Thank-you!!!!!!!

I just updated Zoom, 8-26-20, and now I do not see a way to add photos to my virtual background. What used to say Virtual Background in settings (in app) now says Backgrounds & filters. Where can I find a way to add photos?

My first time to find someone else who uses PPT for graphics. People are always so surprised when I tell them I used ppt for newsletters and such. It’s legit the only program that I know how to use for creating. Lol

Excellent

I'm not able to upload a videos. Does this feature require a zoom corporate account?

Doesn't work. Zoom version 5.3.472687.1012. Says: 'A solid color video background is required. Green color is preferred'. Probably because my background is rather cluttered and with a bright window to the left it confuses the algorithm??

ugh, having issues, my computer meets all the requirements but will NOT disable the green screen button. Really the ONLY thing i would like to do is add a small title at the bottom L of my screen....any suggestions?

I made my background images 1920 x1080 16:9 jpeg what else do I need to know. It doesn't cover the screen.

Cannot get clear, sharp video virtual background when option "NONE" chosen in Virtual Backgrounds gives me a mimi blur background. Other options work, but I want the live, real background. All the other virtual backgrounds work fine.

fantastic

Actually I think you might have the mirror video thing wrong. It has to appear mirrored in your preview in order for others to see it normally. Check a background with text and join the call from a separate computer or mobile to check.

U can use powerpoint as well. Bring image onto powerpt slide, then make sure image is fitted to full powerpt slide dimension. Save file, then save as png or jpeg. You can then go to zoom and add as virtual background option.

When I rotate my virtual video background (because it displays at an incorrect 90-degree rotation), I rotate too. How can I fix this? Thanks
