How to Blur Background in Zoom : Step-by-Step Guide

To start, open your Zoom application and either join an existing meeting or initiate a new one where you’d like to add a bit of privacy with a blurred background effect. This helps minimize distractions and keeps your surroundings confidential during your call.

Once you’re in the meeting, focus on the bottom toolbar of your Zoom window. Locate the ‘Stop Video’ button, and next to it, click the small upward-pointing arrow (the ‘^’ symbol). This opens up additional video options for you to customize your experience.

From the menu that appears, find and select the option labeled “Blur my background.” Choosing this will softly obscure everything behind you, allowing you to stay the focus of the call without any background distractions.

We hope this walkthrough made it easy to enhance your Zoom meetings with background blur. Feel free to try it out and enjoy a more polished, professional video presence!
