To upload a default background image for all your Zoom Rooms, you need to access your Zoom account settings and apply the image at the account level.
Setting a Default Background Image
Setting a default background image ensures a consistent look across all your Zoom Rooms, unless overridden at a lower level (like a specific location or room). The process involves navigating through your Zoom admin portal.
Here are the steps to upload a default background image for all Zoom Rooms:
- Access Account Settings: Sign in to the Zoom web portal as an administrator with the privilege to edit account settings.
- Navigate to Room Management: In the navigation panel, click Room Management, then select Zoom Rooms.
- Go to Account Settings: Click Account Settings.
- Locate Background Setting: Under Setup, locate the Background image for Zoom Rooms setting.
- Reference Information: If there's a default image being used at the account level, you will see a preview of that image along with the "Using account setting" notification on the right.
- Upload New Image: Click Upload New Image.
- Select and Upload: Choose the image file from your computer that you wish to set as the default background.
- Verify Guidelines: Reference Information: Note: Verify your image follows our guidelines. Ensure the uploaded image meets Zoom's specified requirements for resolution, file type, and size to display correctly.
- Save Changes: Settings are typically saved automatically or require a confirmation click.
Once uploaded at the account level, this image will serve as the default background for all Zoom Rooms under that account. Rooms may still have the option to use their own specific background if permitted by lower-level settings.
Important Considerations
- Account Level: Uploading the image in the Account Settings section applies it as the default for all rooms managed under that account.
- Image Guidelines: Adhering to Zoom's image guidelines is crucial for the background to display properly on various Zoom Room displays. Check the official Zoom documentation for the most current recommended dimensions and file types (commonly JPG, PNG, or GIF, with specific resolution recommendations for optimal display).
- Inheritance vs. Customization: While the account setting provides a default, specific room or location settings might allow for overriding this default with a custom background for those particular rooms. The account setting serves as the baseline for rooms that haven't specified their own background.
Setting a consistent background enhances branding and provides a professional appearance for your meeting spaces.
