The Perfect Zoom, Desktop and Phone Background: Watches
Working remotely in our home offices has become the new norm while we maintain a social distance. Zoom has become a staple whether you’re dialing in for a work conference call or catching up and having fun with friends and family.
With everything going on, we all need to find a way to add some fun into our new routines. This is where the Zoom custom background tool comes in to change your backgrounds or hide messy rooms.
How to Set a Zoom Background
Setting a zoom background is quite easy, however there are a few requirements which can be found on Zoom.com. Here are the steps for setting your new virtual background:
- Make sure you have Zoom installed and opened
- Click on the gear “Setup” icon
- Select “Virtual Background” in the menu
- Click on the “+ ” button on the top right of the pre-loaded back
- Choose an image from your computer and you’re set!
You can also set a background while you’re on a video call. Click on the up-arrow to the right of the video symbol and select “Choose a virtual background.” This will take you to the same screen as the above directions to add an image and set.
Download Watch Backgrounds
You don’t have to download just for use on Zoom, some of our favorite watch photos to be set as your desktop or phone wallpaper. Pick your favorite image and click the resolution for your screen, this will typically open an automatic download straight to your computer. Once downloaded, set as your background.
