If you’ve been following Office Watch’s coverage of Remote Working and online meetings, you’ll have already seen some virtual cameras: No need to change the settings in each meeting software, just choose the ‘virtual camera’ and you’re away. Welcome to the Virtual Camera … a piece of software that takes a real camera feed, lets you change it (blur, virtual background etc.) then select that as a ‘camera’ in Zoom, Teams, Meet or whatever. One camera feed with consistent selection of virtual backgrounds and other effects all would be great, and it is possible. Currently we have Zoom, Teams, Skype and Google Meet all setup. Most of us use different video conferencing options depending on what the host has chosen. What would be ideal is a way to setup those features with your webcam then use that video feed on whichever calling software you like. Other online calling software either don’t have them or they are configured in different ways. Teams is getting them with some limitations.
Zoom has blur and virtual background options.
You can have a blurred or virtual background for any online video call, not just ones that have those in-built features. Thanks for joining us! You'll get a welcome message in a few moments.
