Copying or Sharing My Backgroundand

[Jayceeh]

I have a background from a 2020 meeting that was shared with me.  My team wants to reuse the background. Is there any way I can copy/paste or share my background?

Hello @Jayceeh 

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

You can locate the folder where the backgrounds are saved and share it via email or in the Zoom Chat. 

To find the folder where Zoom saves backgrounds:

• On Windows, it's typically located at C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Zoom\backgrounds. Replace 'YourUsername' with your actual Windows username.
• On Mac, you can find it at ~/Library/Application Support/Zoom/backgrounds. Once located, you can copy the image to a convenient location for easy access and sharing with your team."

Have a great day!

unfortunately, this does not work for me. When I get to ..... AppData/Roaming/Zoom/  the best choice is .../data/  In that directory, there is a folder VirtualBkgnd_Custom and in it are a number of entries structured {xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx}, numbers and characters, so I assume its some hexadecimal stuff.

I copied all of these entries to a new computer with the same version of Zoom, but the backgrounds do not show. Any thoughts? (Win10 old computer/Win11 new computer)
