How Do I Set Up a Zoom Account so I can use these backgrounds?
Just follow these steps:
- Go tohttps://zoom.us/or download the Zoom apphttps://zoom.us/download.Creating a basic account is free. All you have to do is Click the “SIGN UP, IT’S FREE” button located at the top, right-hand corner of the page. Be sure you choose the Basic Plan if you want to keep it free.
- You’ll then receive a series of prompts requesting basic information. You’ll be asked for your birth date. Then type in your email address. Finally, click the “Sign Up” button.
- Easy peasy – now you’re ready to Zoom! You can also sign up using Google or Facebook.
What are the Limits on a Free Account?
Zoom doesn’t only have Pro Plans — they also have a free one. With a Basic free Zoom account, you can host up to 100 participants, but with 25 people’s faces.
A Participant is an invitee in a meeting scheduled by someone with a Host license. People can join your meeting for free from their phone, desktop, mobile, and tablet devices. Zoom doesn’t require people to set up an account in order to join a meeting.
You can enjoy unlimited 1 to 1 meetings. The Basic Plan has a 40-minute time limit on meetings with three or more total participants. But if you opt for a Pro Plan to have greater features, it’s all up to you!
Need More Meeting Time?
You can either close out the room you’re in to begin a new meeting, or extend your meeting time with a Pro Plan option. If you decide to upgrade to a Pro Plan, Twiniversity points out that you can cancel at any time.
The free Zoom account offers an unlimited number of meetings, along with ticket support. Video conferencing features include HD video and voice, full screen and gallery view (showing up to 25 video feeds per screen), simultaneous screen sharing, a waiting room, and an active speaker view — meaning Zoom detects which person is speaking and automatically shifts the video feed to them.
How to Add a Baby Shower Background to Zoom
What is a Zoom baby shower background? Simply put, this super cool Zoom feature enables you to display an image or video as your background during a meeting.
For example, if you are having a meeting either for business or just for chatting with friends, you may appear as if you’ve just landed on the moon with one virtual background.
Other backgrounds take you to the set of popular TV shows and movies, as well as relaxing vacation destinations. Zoom’s Help Center advises that this feature works best with a green screen and uniform lighting.
You’ll have your shower backgrounds ready to go in no time! Your virtual baby shower will be so fun and interesting with zoom baby shower background images.
Do It Yourself!
Want to upload your own images or videos as backgrounds for your Zoom baby shower? You can do that, too! There are no size restrictions when adding your own background.
However, Zoom does recommend cropping the image to match the aspect ratio of your camera before uploading it. Zoom backgrounds can easily be applied using Desktop Client (a Zoom app downloaded and installed on the computer/laptop or phone).
