• Open your “Zoom Desktop Client” and navigate to your “Settings” screen.
• Click on the “Virtual Background” tab and then click the “+ button” to select the “Add Image” or “Add Video” option.
• Choose the background you downloaded from the web.

If you have never used a virtual background before:

• Make sure you log in to your CarmenZoom profile, click “Settings” in the left sidebar, navigate to the “Virtual Background” option on the “Meeting” tab and verify that the setting is enabled.
