The Princess ( @ThePrincess ) said "Ohhh" when I showed her the Youtube video with someone using the interior of Bag End.

Can you tell her how you did that please?

 

[Amish Heart]

I noticed that and thought of the princess

 

[Bacpacker]

I thought it looked very cool

On my Mac desktop program, it's under preferences, background and effects. You find a background jpg you like, save it , push the little + button and navigate to the one you want to add to zoom.

@dademoss explained it pretty thoroughly, it is similar on windows systems as well.

Interesting bit of Tolkien trivia: J.R.R. was inspired by the farmhouse his aunt lived in in the village of Dormston, it was basically in a cul de sac (which literally translates to bottom of the bag), hence "Bag End"

Where Bilbo and Frodo Baggins lived in Lord of the Ring

And as you could see, I occasionally visit for Zoom meetings.

Last week, we went about an hour or so. I think that is more or less our target time!

Yes, and seeing the bookcase background he posted explains why so many people being interviewed by the news seem to have the same books behind them.
I presume that you can use any picture you have as a background.
If I ever appear on a zoom call, you can bet that I will have a fantastic/outrageous one.

You can use whatever picture you would like.

However, your computer needs sufficient horsepower to be able to merge the live video of you with the background image you want to be superimposed on. If you move around rapidly, that takes even more horsepower. A fifteen year old economy laptop probably won't cut it.

You also should have a "clean" background behind you (the real background) for the merge to work well. Ideally, a green screen. But if you don't have that, hang a sheet behind you so you at least have a plain, non-busy background. Or arrange your camera angle so you are sitting in front of a plain wall behind you. Don't be sitting in front of a big screen TV displaying a lively basketball game and expect a good video merge with your picture of a tranquil sunset.

It's the wee hours of the morning for you

 

[Amish Heart]

[Buffalo]

Is there a zoom meeting tonight?

I won't be able to host one tonight, it's end of the school year for our boys and we have a banquet for our oldest son tonight. We'll try for next week!

Guess I will be staying out of this since this thread has been edited and some of my posts removed!!
