  • In this video I cover how to enable video background blur and video background replacement in Cisco Webex meetings. I included some details about how to get the best image quality as well when using the background blur effect and background replacement. This includes some included backgrounds as well as custom backgrounds that you can load yourself!
    Looking for better lighting? Check out some of these lighting options:
    Lume Cube: amzn.to/2Fm1xir
    Light Ring: amzn.to/3hjzHAr
    Neewer: amzn.to/3m7sVBr

    Using window 10 but saying "you can't use a virtual background your system doesn't meet the minimum requirements " what can I do?. By the way, I do not have this problem if I use ZOOM

      Contact your administrator, they may have this disabled or you could still be on an older version of Webex for some reason.

    Hi, thanks for this useful video. When I change the background my video is not showing up on Webex. I have the latest version, enough lighting. Looks like the background is coming to the forefront and blocking me. Any idea how to move the background behind me? Pls clarify. Thanks!

    • @TheTechCatalyst
      @TheTechCatalyst  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Often this can be caused by the lighting or camera quality. Ensure your in a well lit area when on video.

      There are some hardware requirements that must be met. You may need to upgrade hardware. Potentially the requirements will be reduced in later versions..... we can hope...

    So what happens when the blur decides to take your face out too? Is that lighting? Lines in the background? How do you avoid this?

    • @TheTechCatalyst
      @TheTechCatalyst  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Lighting is big. The more you stand out from the background the better. Avoid having a really busy background if you can.

      You might need a computer with a little more CPU... this takes a lot to run. Try closing anything extra that's running... future versions will be optimized a bit more as well...

      You should have it... ensure your Webex version is at least 40.9. Look for "About Webex" (I think it is) in the menu.

      What doesn't work? Is the option there and it doesn't work or is the option not there? I would touch base with your Webex Administrator for clarification on the feature. In some cases this feature will not work on less powerful computers.
