    Backdrops

    Option 1

    White or Black Backdrop

    Option 2

    Greenscreen Backdrop

    The addition of a white or black background can help you hide distracting kids, dogs, and parts of your home office from view.

    Using a greenscreen backdrop provides a cleaner/sharper cutout around your head when using a virtual background in Zoom. However the greenscreen is not required if you want to look like you're teaching from the beach.

    If you're doing more advanced teaching workflows Zoom, your tech support contact may tell you to purchase a greenscreen.
