Vast Conference offers a variety of video conference virtual backgrounds that can be used on desktop and mobile devices for a professional look, added privacy, or just for fun. Or, upload your own custom image and add a personal touch to your video call.
How to Change Your Vast Conference Background
Before entering the video conference you will be prompted to select your audio/video meeting settings. This is where you can choose from the library of available virtual backgrounds or upload your own. Just click on the image you prefer and preview it in the video thumbnail window. To upload a personalized background, click the plus option and upload an image from your desktop. Your uploaded image will remain in the custom virtual background library. Try out the virtual backgrounds in the preview window to find which you like best.
When to Use a Virtual Background
Professionalism
We may not all have the luxury of a well-appointed home office with a bookshelf organized by a “Celebrity Book Curator”. Yes, that’s a real job. No, you don’t need one. Even if you do have a home office, this past year has proven that a closed-door doesn’t stop the most determined half-sized family members and attention-seeking pets from putting on a show in the background of video conferences. Choose the background of your liking to project a professional and organized work from home environment – even if you are working from the kitchen counter while your kids are remote learning in the background.
Privacy
Virtual backgrounds are the ideal solution for meetings taken on the go or quick face-to-face check-ins when you are not in the office. In the past, meeting attendees who weren’t in the office were relegated to dialing in via a conference call line making participation more difficult. Today, use a virtual background to join your live video call from a coffee shop, your parked car, or even the backyard.
Fun
And then there are the times when you just want to have some fun. Mix things up a little! Customize your virtual backgrounds to match your personality, mood, or meeting theme. Use video conference backgrounds as a virtual ice breaker by asking everyone to add their favorite vacation spot, city, or hobby to their background.
