question on copywrite laws for virtual backgrounds

[Bumblebee111]

I am using a virtual background that is one of zooms backgrounds that zoom offered. I want to know if I can use continue to use the zoom virtual background when I do a podcast.

Although the podcast  is in audio format,  we will video some parts of it and it  may show up in promotion.

Please advise.

I can't find the answer to this anywhere on the zoom site. 

Thank you.

Interesting question. I am not a lawyer nor do in work for Zoom, but would think they would allow/encourage it as free marketing/advertising. I see watermarks for Skype when used on news programs, for example. 

My take is Zoom would be more concerned if someone used their product without giving credit.

I just reread your post and see I may have misunderstood. I guess I could see the owner of one of the backgrounds licensed to Zoom being upset/litigious if they found someone else using their background without permission. This is an IP legal question though and I doubt you will get a solid, legally defensible response here..  good luck.
