Virtual backgrounds

What are Virtual Backgrounds?

Virtual backgrounds are digital images or videos that can be used to replace the real background in a video call or recording. They are commonly used to add a professional touch to video conferences, webinars, and online classes. With virtual backgrounds, users can hide their messy or distracting surroundings and create a more polished and engaging visual experience for their audience.
