ZoomerBackgrounds

UI looks great and the entire product looks really well done. As a fellow student in a ton of zoom classes I’ll be sure to recommend to others!

This has been my background for as many calls as I can do without it being unprofessional. https://v.redd.it/84tmrvcuqbs41/DASH_480?source=fallback

I see that you have an option to not include a watermark on downloaded images, but having watermarks turned on by default (especially since these look like user uploaded images…

I was going to say that the watermark is too obtrusive ... I don't have a problem with you getting a bit of attention in exchange for the time it takes to curate the collection…

Yeah, I’m really confused. The title says video backgrounds but they all seem to be static images.

I'm afraid this will be quickly overrun by trolls. Hopefully you are prepared to moderate.

There's already enough questionable images up there that I don't feel comfortable sharing this with my company.

I’m confused why some of these backgrounds are mirrored. You know that when you see your background in Zoom it’s only flipped for your benefit, right? It’s sent to others the…

Is there a way to report or flag images if any inappropriate ones are uploaded?

Yep--just email us at hello@zoomerbackgrounds.com!

I wonder: does anyone know of a solution which does something similar in a more software agnostic way? I imagine a software that takes a webcam manipulates the image and emulates…

Yes, you can do this with OBS. The virtual webcam feature can be added as a plugin. And chroma-keying is a built-in feature. I use a Mac, and I've been toying with this a bit…

It's super easy...if you have a suitable chromakey backdrop and decent lighting on it. What I'd love is a plugin that replicates (or at least approximates) some of the "virtual…

For Windows, Snapchat have a standalone virtual cam called Snapcamera https://snapcamera.snapchat.com/ There are green screen plugins for that. You could chain Snapcamera's…

Snap Camera, CamTwist, and OBS are all options for that. Zoom recently had issues with using these virtual webcams on macOS, don't know if it's been fixed.
