Zoom virtual backgrounds are extremely popular. Many users have commented on my channel that their virtual background is not working. Many users have asked if virtual backgrounds only work with a paid Zoom account. Virtual backgrounds do work with the free account, and if you are having issues getting virtual backgrounds to appear, here is my solution.

Virtual backgrounds work in Zoom with images and virtual videos. As mentioned, virtual backgrounds do work with the Free or Basic Zoom account. I used a free or basic account to make this video.

If your virtual background is not showing up when you start a meeting, do the following:
1) Go to Zoom.Us and sign in to your account.
2) Go to Settings.
3) Turn Virtual Background on.
4) Back in the Zoom app, sign out of Zoom. Don't just close the app, you need to sign out.
5) Sign back into Zoom.
Your background should be working.
