Should You Use Virtual Backgrounds?

When using a virtual video background, there is the chance of a mishap. Things could go awry if you choose the wrong image, find your video quality degraded, or have poor lighting. Virtual backgrounds work well when you have strong lighting that allows the computer to detect where you end and your background begins.

Should you use a zoom background?

Your background makes a strong statement about you. You are quite literally projecting an image, whether professional or otherwise, to your customer. So, make sure that your real or virtual background supports that image by being neat and clutter free, well-lit, and perhaps with a spark a personality.

Do virtual backgrounds slow down zoom?

Static (still) virtual backgrounds take very little bandwidth, especially compared to how much bandwidth video takes. They are unlikely to change the performance of your Zoom.
