With virtual backgrounds, you can change or blur the background of the image others see in the video meeting. This helps you to be the focus of the image or hide a messy background at the office.
You can change the background whether you're in a call or not.
 | Virtual backgrounds are not supported on DX70 or DX80 devices. |
Background options:
-
Background blur. Keep in mind that the background blur may not cover your background entirely and possibly sensitive information could be visible to others in the video meeting.
-
Computer screen share as background (if your computer is connected to your Desk device)
-
Standard background images
-
Custom background image, if custom images have been uploaded by your administrator. If your Desk device is registered on personal mode, you can upload your own custom backgrounds. Read how to do it here.
To change your background at any time:
-
Tap the
button or swipe from the right side of the screen. In the control panel that opens, tap Background.
