Step 3: Enabling Virtual Background and Banner

After you have uploaded your banner, you need to enable the virtual background feature and select your banner as the background for your Zoom meeting:

  1. In the Virtual Background settings, make sure the “I have a green screen” option is unchecked.
  2. Click on the “Virtual Background” tab.
  3. Click on your uploaded banner to select it as your virtual background.
