But you should be able to tell in a flash if the results are acceptable. How well Zoom distinguishes you and applies the background correctly appears to be both a function of your webcam and your computer’s processor: The better they are, the more accurate the result.

(As you might expect, video files have a small camcorder icon in the corner.) But if you click one of the images below your video window, you should see what’s behind you replaced with either a static image (the Golden Gate Bridge is a favorite) or else a slowly looping video background, like the northern lights or Zoom’s beach scene. By default, Zoom turns on your webcam, and you should see what others in your chat will see: you, and your background. The gear icon hides Zoom’s Settings menu. This opens up a wealth of options, but the relevant one for us is the Virtual Background option. The first thing to do is to click the Zoom Settings gear in the upper right-hand corner. When the Zoom main screen opens up, you’ll see the Zoom main page. Virtual backgrounds are also available for iOS (with an iPhone 8, 8+, or X, or an iPad Pro and the 5th and 6th-gen iPads) but support for Android isn’t listed.
This is all simple enough that it will either work, or it won’t. If you don’t know what you have, don’t worry.
Zoom has a rather complex list of minimum requirements that you’ll need to enable custom backgrounds, but here’s what they boil down to:
