Is there a way to download this AI generated image to my desktop?  I love the image that was generated for me and want to use it in other places.

Hi JustinBSpokane, 

 

This AI generated background image can only be saved and used as background image for meetings and cannot be saved through your desktop.

Is there no clarification available on who is eligible, or why?

Hi ArgoTMP, 

 

Please see below:

 

1. Zoom Account Type

AI-generated virtual backgrounds are available to users on the following paid plans:

  • Pro

  • Business

  • Enterprise

    If you're on a free (Basic) plan, this feature isn't accessible.

     

    2. Zoom Workplace App Version

    Ensure you're using Zoom Workplace app version 6.0.0 or higher to access AI-generated virtual backgrounds. 

     

    3. System Requirements

    Your device must meet the system requirements for virtual backgrounds without a green screen. This includes specific operating systems and processor capabilities.

I meet all the requirements: Workplace Pro edition, and version 6.6.6, and I even have the setting for "AI generated virtual backgrounds" toggled to on. Yet I have no "Generate" button!!

I would like to use my AI generated image in a different zoom account. How can I share it?

Welcome to the Zoom Community, ​@HG2026! To use your AI-generated image (such as a profile picture or virtual background) in a different Zoom account, you’ll need to manually download the image from your current device and then upload it to the other Zoom account.
