Zoom has a virtual background feature. It allows you to display an image or video as your background during a Zoom Meeting.
It works best with a green screen and uniform lighting.
Use and image relative to your camera settings. Example: If your camera is set to 16:9, an image of 1280 by 720 px or 1920 by 1080 px would work well.
You can select one during a meeting.
