Masking Background During Videoconferences

Topic

New Reply

We use a logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 while participating in streaming meetings using Cisco Webex, Zoom Meetings, or Microsoft Teams.

We would like to permanently install a solid background during the meetings.

Is there a way of configure the logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 so that it opens with a solid background by default?

Would you be using a green background?

It works – but is not elegant.

Have discovered that some video conferencing apps have background related capabilities.

More when I have some time to explore the possibilities.

In MS Teams one can choose one of several backgrounds that, given the OK, not fantastic overall quality of the image, look like real backgrounds (except for the one showing a garden in a castle. Something that not many would believe is part of my actual residence.)
