Can I add new virtual backgrounds to my options when I am not actually in a meeting?

I have a few pictures I use as backgrounds.  I want to add a couple more from a recent trip but I don't have a meeting scheduled at the moment.  Is there a way to do that from my account or do I have to wait until I am in a meeting and start hunting and uploading the photos then?

 

Thanks for help!

Yes, this is possible. Navigate to zoom.us/profile/setting -> Meeting -> In Meeting (Advanced) -> Virtual Background -> Manage xx Virtual Backgrounds:

From here, you'll be able to upload new virtual backgrounds.
