Any idea if the backgrounds can be used with Webex?
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. https://help.webex.com/en-us/80jduab/Use-a-Virtual-Background-in-Webex-Meetings-Events-and-Training
Are the backgrounds compatible with Loom?
Hi Chrissie, I did a bit of research and doesn't appear that you can change the backgrounds in Loom at this stage.
If I use my laptop directly using the camera to make video messages for my students (Windows 10) can I use these backgrounds?
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.
These are great - thank you
You're most welcome!
Thank you! These are awesome. :)
You're most welcome, Cathy! Thanks for your feedback!
What application can these backgrounds be used with, is it mainly Zoom?
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.
can these backgrounds be used with screen castify?
Hi Lucille, unfortunately, I don't believe you can at this stage.
Can these be used with android. Our school won't allow zoom etc. We need to upload our video.
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.
Can these be used in Microsoft Teams videos?
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.
hi our school uses vimeo - how do I add the background to vimeo videos?
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!
Fabulous backgrounds. Thank you.
You're most welcome Martina!

how do you use these on Seesaw?
Hi Genevieve, you'd have to pre-record your video in Zoom and then upload it to Seesaw.
Can I use these on Google Meet?
Hi Natalee, I don't believe you can - but check out the FAQ section in Google Meet.
I love them so interesting!
Awesome, Zalak! So glad that you like our new video backgrounds for teachers.
These look awesome and I can’t wait to try it out!
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
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
We'd love to hear how they go Michelle!
