I do not have a webcam. When I join a meeting, a really strange logo is displayed, which is unnerving to me and participants, see attached. How do I remove or change it?

I have tried changing the background but it still remains.

This is strange. When you don't have a webcam, you're sending your profile picture. Can you check your profile picture? Please login to zoom via web & go to Personal > Profile (see screenshot).

Hi @ferrad

That is the holding image for OBS Virtual Camera. You must have OBS installed - and Zoom has defaulted to the OBS Virtual Camera (Zoom will see this as a camera).

You can either disable the OBS Virtual Camera output - or locate and replace the actual image file that OBS presents into that output.

On Windows, you can locate and replace the file (if you want to). Guidance here:
