Hi, hello! We are excited to introduce virtual backgrounds for Zoom*, from @HiHello! 🎉 Because of #COVID19, Zoom meetings are an everyday occurrence. Zoom is great, but our team encountered a few problems: 1) It’s easy to forget you have a personal and professional brand presence to maintain during meetings. 2) There’s no easy way to share business cards during Zoom calls. We created HiHello virtual backgrounds for Zoom to give people a simple way to showcase their brand, and have an even easier way to share their digital business cards while we’re #socialdistancing. 🚫🤝 When you create a HiHello background, your digital business card is linked to a background image of your choosing. Your name, title, company, and logo will be displayed on the left, and your QR code will be on the right. Anyone on the Zoom call who aims their phone’s camera at your code will have full access to your digital business card. These backgrounds are great for if you’re in a large meeting and don’t know anyone, if you’re networking, or if you simply don’t want anyone on the call to see what the inside of your home looks like. We hope you enjoy your new virtual background! For more information, visit our website, or read our blog posts about how to make a virtual background, and how to add your virtual background to Zoom. If you haven’t already, make your first digital business card. After that, feel free to make as many virtual backgrounds as you’d like 🙌🏽 App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hi... Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/ap... Cheers!

The QR seems to only link to the app... As I'd rather not force people to download an app to view my business card this would really only be usable if it displayed the business card and perhaps an option to download the app. Not sure if this is how it's intended to work.

@shl0ms We agree that people should not have to download an app to view the digital bsuiness card! The QR code links to your digital business card and anyone can scan the QR code using just the camera on their phone. They do *not* need to have the app to view/receive the digital business card as it will open in the browser for anyone who does not have the app.

@shl0ms If you have the app installed, then the card will open in the app. If you don't have the app installed, then it will open in the browser.

Happy Friday! 🎊 I’m part of the team that built HiHello virtual backgrounds for Zoom. I’d love to get your input on some of the background images we have available for you. (My personal favorite is “OMG Puppies!” but I’m a dog mom, so I may be a little biased 😉) We wanted to come up with a variety of backgrounds so you can choose one that fits your personal brand. Don’t like any of ours? No problem, upload your own! We hope the background builder tool is fairly straightforward, but we created a blog post just in case anyone needs a little extra help. Blog: www.hihello.me/blog/create-a-hih... We also created a video tutorial that walks you through the process. Video tutorial:
Finally, sometimes the final step of adding your new virtual background to Zoom can be a little confusing, so read our guide on how to add or change your Zoom virtual background. Blog: www.hihello.me/blog/how-to-chang... We hope you enjoy your new virtual backgrounds! Feel free to tweet at us (@hihello) or contact support if you have any questions.

Great idea and so obvious (in hindsight)!

I've been using these in meetings and having great responses from others - especially since the Redwood Forest background I chose happens to be native to my Wine Country home!

?makers Feedback: Bring to the first position or somewhere in the first view of this section to add your own background image. That's a lot of options and you almost believe that you cannot add your own BG because it's too hide. About the product: It's an intelligent way to show professional informations during a call with different people! :D
