Question

Background

Nothing I do allows me to use my actual background. Clicking None just gets me blue sky. I can use photos but I want no virtual background. Reinstalling does nothing to help.

    Hello @Richard29,

    Welcome to the Zoom Community! We're glad to have you here.

    May I know what device, Zoom app version, and operating system you are using?

    Hello @Dotty1!

    If you're using macOS, it's possible that the background was uploaded directly to your computer instead of through Zoom. Once the meeting starts, a green video icon will appear in the top-right corner of your Mac's menu bar. Click the icon and uncheck 'Background' to remove the virtual background.

    Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance.
