Gadgetren – Although now many have started working offline, online meetings using video conferencing applications are still carried out by some offices, especially those that adopt a hybrid system.
Zoom become one of the preferred video conferencing applications used for online meetings and gatherings in various countries, including Indonesia.
Even conducting conferences between countries can be done easily with Zoom as long as the internet connection is stable and fast. One of the interesting features of Zoom is in its ability to change the background from hosts and participants with wallpapers that are already available or downloaded by themselves.
Changing the background is usually used when you are in a place that may not be good. Before changing the Zoom background, make sure that the computer already has a processor that supports these features such as Intel Pentium Gold, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, AMD Ryzen 5, AMD Ryzen 7, and so on.
If the processor does not support this feature, then you will not see the Choose Virtual Background menu. That way, you have to Zoom with the background as it is.
