We’re all missing the feeling of gathering for a big game. Whether it’s a packed stadium or your local sports bar, fans would do just about anything to watch their favorite team with their close friends right now.

Thanks to the power of Zoom, we can meet virtually while we wait for the COVID-19 pandemic to end. We’ve put together some custom-made backgrounds so you can feel a little closer to the action for the time being.

If nothing else, maybe your friends and family can get a good laugh out of these backdrops. We all need it right now.

How to Apply a Zoom Background

Maybe you’ve never applied a Zoom virtual background before.

Not to worry, here’s everything you need to know.

Recommended Settings

Zoom has a few recommendations for applying your virtual background:

  • Have a solid color background behind you, preferably a green screen
  • A higher quality camera will work best
  • Ensure you have uniform lighting and color
  • Don’t wear clothing that’s the same color as your background.

There’s a set of system requirements your device will have to match in order to use virtual backgrounds effectively. You can find all the details on those requirements right here.

Step-by-Step Guide

The first step in applying a Zoom virtual background is ensuring you have the feature enabled:

  • Sign-in to the Zoom web portal
  • Click “Settings” in the navigation menu
  • Click the “Meeting” tab and ensure the virtual background option is enabled

Once the virtual background setting is enabled, follow these steps to apply a new backdrop:

  • Sign-in to the Zoom desktop client
  • Click your profile picture, and click “Settings”
  • Select “virtual background” (restart your client if the tab is not appearing)
  • Check the “I have a green screen” option if you are using one
  • Upload one of your images by clicking the “+” symbol
  • Click on the image to apply it

That’s all you have to do to apply your virtual sports background on Zoom.
