Trying to make video smaller

[mazparker]

I am trying to shrink my screen to cut out the background edges, but I can’t see how to do this. Is anyone able to advise? I don’t want to blur my background, but iI don’t want my office to be seen. Thanks

This is not natively possible via Zoom.

Depending on what type of camera you're using, you may be able to zoom in on your image so that elements of your background are no longer present - this would generally be accomplished through your camera's utility application (if this exists).

If your camera doesn't have a designated utility or app, you could use a 3rd-party tool like OBS or Manycam to manipulate the camera feed before it reaches Zoom, although these are more complex solutions with bigger learning curves.
