How can I create a Virtual Background (using my own photos) while NOT on a Zoom meeting/call? I can't seem to find the 'background' function in 'settings.' I have a "Basic" account. Thx for any help!

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @David555 

 

See this Zoom Support article on configuring virtual backgrounds:

https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/210707503-Changing-your-Virtual-Background-image

 

I think if your computer is deemed by the Zoom app to not be capable of supporting virtual backgrounds, then you might not be able to access the option.
