I can't find the location on my desktop where my virtual backgrounds are stored. Can you help? Thanks.

Hi @Peter18 ! Zoom doesn't necessarily store virtual backgrounds on your device. Did you add your own virtual background or were you using one of the default virtual backgrounds?

It's my own virtual background. I can see it on the Zoom desktop, but not find its location on my PC.

I am in the same position. What I would LIKE to do is not to delete the surplus but rather to move the surplus to another folder - but first I have to find where they are stored <grin>

(My basic problem is that one night I went crazy and imported quite a lot (e.g. > 50) backgrounds but now they're interfering with the ones I use all the time!)
