I'm new to zoom,

 

I've downloaded a png background for zoom.

 

Before receiving a call, How will I know the background is working?

 

thank you,

Billy

Hi @tmbilly and welcome to Zoom! We're happy you're here 🙂
When you set up your virtual background in your meeting settings, you will see a preview image that shows the virtual background you've selected. This is especially helpful if you're use a virtual background for the first time and you want to make sure it's displaying correctly. I encourage you to check out our support article How to apply a Virtual Background for more details. I hope this helps!

Ive already done all possible before receiving a call.  Is there a way to test it before the call comes in?
