Many states around the country have mandated stay-at-home orders to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic. This means that the number of virtual meetings, happy hours and family gatherings has increased drastically and virtual backgrounds are the latest trend for those imagining they are anywhere but on their couch. Check out our virtual backgrounds of Dublin and get inspired for your first post-isolation outing!

We know there are many, many video conferencing tools out there and we encourage you to seek out if the tool you use allows virtual backgrounds. Here are some instructions for just a few popular tools:

ENABLING VIRTUAL BACKGROUND ON ZOOM

Click My Meeting Settings, if you are an account administrator or Meeting Settings if you are an account member.
Navigate to the Virtual Background option on the Meeting tab and verify that the setting is enabled.

Please note, if your background is flipped, de-select where it says "Mirror My Video"
