Any idea if the backgrounds can be used with Webex?
Chris Hossack · Jul 23rd, 2020
Hi Chris,
Yes! It seems as though Webex includes the virtual background feature so you will be able to use our awesome designs during your meetings.
I found the following help article from Webex to get you started.

Are the backgrounds compatible with Loom?
Chrissie Van Der Hoeven · Apr 23rd, 2020
Hi Chrissie, I did a bit of research and doesn’t appear that you can change the backgrounds in Loom at this stage.
Holly (Teach Starter) · Apr 23rd, 2020
If I use my laptop directly using the camera to make video messages for my students (Windows 10) can I use these backgrounds?
Julie Darby · Apr 20th, 2020
Hi Julie, unfortunately not – you will need some type of program to change your background. That’s why we suggest Zoom as it’s free and already has the software to change the background and then export the video for you.
Holly (Teach Starter) · Apr 21st, 2020
These are great – thank you
cathym440 · Apr 20th, 2020
You’re most welcome!
Holly (Teach Starter) · Apr 20th, 2020
Thank you! These are awesome. 🙂
Cathy Pancia · Apr 20th, 2020
You’re most welcome, Cathy! Thanks for your feedback!

What application can these backgrounds be used with, is it mainly Zoom?
Reka Rozumberski · Apr 19th, 2020
Hi Reka, it works easiest in Zoom. But you should be able to use these backgrounds in any platforms that have the function to pick your own background.
Holly (Teach Starter) · Apr 20th, 2020
can these backgrounds be used with screen castify?
Lucille Ruggeri · Apr 18th, 2020
Hi Lucille, unfortunately, I don’t believe you can at this stage.
Holly (Teach Starter) · Apr 19th, 2020
Can these be used with android. Our school won’t allow zoom etc. We need to upload our video.
julie Ingram · Apr 17th, 2020
Hi Julie, I guess it depends on what video platform you will be using. The best idea is to look at the FAQs of the software you’ll be using to record the videos.
Holly (Teach Starter) · Apr 19th, 2020
Can these be used in Microsoft Teams videos?
Kristy Raybould · Apr 17th, 2020
Hi Kristy, I believe you can change the virtual background in Microsoft Teams using their custom images but unfortunately, at this stage, you can’t add your own.
Holly (Teach Starter) · Apr 19th, 2020
hi our school uses vimeo – how do I add the background to vimeo videos?
Lorna Mccann-pearson · Apr 17th, 2020
Hey Lorna, I just did a quick search in their FAQ and found this – To customize the look of your Vimeo On Demand page, head to the Appearance tab in your Vimeo On Demand Settings. Here you’ll see a background image we’ve magically created based on the thumbnail artwork for your VOD video. If you update your thumbnail, your background image will update automatically, as well – magic! If you’d like to upload a custom background image, click the “Edit background image” button, and then the red “X” in the top right corner of the image to remove the old one. Then drag your new image into the window, or upload it from the link. Once you’re finished, click Done, and then Save.
I hope that helps. Let us know how you go!
Holly (Teach Starter) · Apr 19th, 2020

how do you use these on Seesaw?
Genevieve Valkoff · Apr 16th, 2020
Hi Genevieve, you’d have to pre-record your video in Zoom and then upload it to Seesaw.
Holly (Teach Starter) · Apr 17th, 2020
Can I use these on Google Meet?
Natalee Johnson · Apr 16th, 2020

Hi Holly, I ran into trouble with this today… is there a particular version of Zoom I should use? I tried to follow the instructions on the blog but I couldn’t find the tab to select the background. Thanks for your help, Michelle
Michelle Owens · Apr 16th, 2020
Hi Michelle, I’ll past the link directly from Zoom that explains it – hopefully that helps. https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/210707503-Virtual-Background
