Changing your background in Video Call
How to apply a virtual or blurred background for Video Call
Virtual and blurred backgrounds can be useful to add privacy during your Video Call. This can be especially useful if you are joining a call from a public space or working from home and want other participants to focus on you, not your background.
You can select a blur or virtual background from the Settings section in the Video Call screen. There are three levels of blur and seven preset virtual backgrounds to choose from. You can also upload a custom virtual background from your computer or device to use in the Video Call screen.
Once you slect you desired background, this setting will be remembered for subsequent Video Calls, however you can change your selection at any time during a call.
