Learn how to use all share screen features in Zoom: th-cam.com/video/V4vXWjRU8kg/w-d-xo.html AND how use Zoom Virtual Background without green screen: th-cam.com/video/IiV2zchZ48g/w-d-xo.html
Tim - I was in a meeting recently and the host was able to move annotations on the white board so that participants weren't covering up each others post. How do you do that?
Just followed Tim's advice and gave an online presentation at an international conference. It worked brilliantly. Many thanks Tim for your concise instructions. I received quite a few queries about how to insert oneself in the presentation than about the actual topic!!!! They've been forwarded on to you.....
This is a video that I can recommend to others. And you just saved me a lot of time and effort to make it for myself. Besides, you don't blink, cough, sneeze and all that during your videos.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I HAVE BEEN DREAMING OF DOING THAT FOR SUCH A LONG TIME, BUT REALLY DID NOT KNOW HOW AND WITH WHICH SOFTWARE! YOU HAVE MADE MY YEAR AND YOU EXPLAIN VERY WELL AND SIMPLY! IT WORKS! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I DID NOT EVEN KNOW THAT ZOOM COULD DO THIS BECAUSE I HAD NEVER USED IT!
Thank you for this! When I record, it doesn’t keep me on the slides as it appear on the live presentation. instead it puts me in a small box on the top right of the slides on the recording. Is there some setting I am missing. Thank you!
Looks great Tim, can't wait to test it out. One tiny suggestion (although it could be me who missed it!) At 4.59 I thought you were going to show us how to see what viewers see using some button choice. Is that the case? You simply showed it and so it could have been on another computer. Even so, absolutely fantastic, clear and to the point. Thank you for posting.
It looks like when in the slide show I cannot use the right and left keys anymore to switch slides. My Logitech presenter does not do the job either. Any smart workaround? Because clicking left and right with the mouse is really annoying and kills the flow. Zoom is only reacting to the key board shortly after clicking with the mouse. Once the slide-number-popup is gone, any key is disabled. Tipps, Tim?
I don't see the option of "slides as a virtual background". I tried to check for updates but was notified to "check with my administrator". I am my own admin I think, no?
Great video. Thank you! What am I doing wrong- I only seem to appear in the top right corner versus being able to move myself to the bottom like you are in the video above. I am at the bottom when I record it but not in the playback!
Hi can somebody please help me? I always set my video as mirrored but every time I do Set presentation as virtual background, My mirroring turns off and I am bothered because if I point at something in my presentation, it goes the other way. Send help. Thanks much!
Great advice Tim, however within my powerpoint I have videos, but they will not run through Zoom using this virtual feature. Is there any way to do this? Thanks
Hi. Thank you for this video. But how do I record the meeting with me in it and slides as virtual background like what you did in the video? i tried to do it but I can't. It only records the slides and sound. I do not appear in the recording. Please help . THANK YOU
I am unable to record myself. The recording is coming only as .. the powerpoint without myself inserted. Though while presenting I can see myself, in the recording folder it is just the slides without me. Is anyone else having this problem and have you figured out a solution ?
Thank you for this!!! So helpful!! Question, I have video in my PPT and it doesn't work with this, any chance you have learned how to do that? Thanks so much!!
Hey Tim, I feel curious if you know how to put the keynote on half the screen in a recording with no other participants and the speaker on the other half, so they can see the slide and see the speaker in side by sides. Thank you!
@@TimHarrisVideo It only seems to work if I make someone else the host and they arrange it that way. I cant seem to do it without another person helping. Thank you!
Great explanation, Tim! As a side note, it's important to know that ANY PPT animations or embedded audio/videos sadly DO NOT work in the Virtual Background mode. It looks like Zoom spends time creating static versions of your completed slides before the presentation plays - the ONLY controls allowed are forward and backwards. This is bad if you like to reveal text/objects a click-at-a-time and talk to them as they appear. I sure hope PPT animations are included in the final release of this feature!
Our workaround, recently, was to break down each animated reveal onto separate slides (with no animation) so the progressing of the slides made it look like we were revealing items (eg. bullet points) as we were going.
The controls down the bottom, you should just be able to click them. Make sure your hover the mouse in the right spot to find the arrows. Does that work for you?
This is good but how to annotate when using powerpoint as virtual background ?? either i can share and anotate or use it as virtual background. thats not good.
Hey is there a secret way to resize the video window beyond the aspect ratio supplied? i.e. can i make it so that i can stand on one side of the screen with my slide content on the other half, rather than being cut off mid chest?
yeah, stand up and step back from the webcam so it captures your whole body. and when you make your presentation you should put all the information to one side. leaving a nice gap for yourself
Same. I load the ppx file but can only see Slide 1. There's a slide advice button that recognizes that the file has 19 slides but when i click the button, the numbers advance but only Slide 1 is showing.

Hey, I'm really glad I was able to help you out with demonstrating this. I hope you enjoy the rest of my channel and good luck on your journey
@@TimHarrisVideo Thanks a lot!
Hi.. thanks for sharing. Please let me know one thing, how can we annotate during sharing slides as virtual background? Thanks in advance.
This is great but how do you access your speaker notes in PPT while using the slides as background feature?
Use Zoom (alone) to record an engaging KeyNote slide video. Mind Blown! Thanks!
These videos are great, dude. You're my stop when I ask "how do i do the thing?!" lol Great work!
LJS thanks mate, that kind of feedback gives me that extra motivation when doing vids 👍🏻
Is there a way to do this while in Presentor mode? In other words, so I can see my notes while doing this function as well?
I'd love to know the answer to this too! Have you found out from anyone else?
Thank you! Question, can I play videos that are embedded in my power point when using them as a virtual background. I am using a MAC
Thank you for this! When I record, it doesn’t keep me on the slides as it appear on the live presentation. instead it puts me in a small box on the top right of the slides on the recording. Is there some setting I am missing. Thank you!

Hi can you add more participants on your slide? For e.g. in a group project context

same problem. Does anyone have a solution to this ?
I have uploaded the latest version 5.6 but there is no Blur virtual background function. Neither on laptop nor phone. Please advise?
Again, check the correct part of his own website to see what the future requirements are on your computer

People won't see you mirrored, only you see the mirror effect
My pc doesn't support that beta option of screen sharing
One would THINK that Microsoft would enable this in MS Teams! But of course not!
Awesome! Thanks for this! Now I wish Zoom would enable animations
You're welcome!
Great advice Tim, however within my powerpoint I have videos, but they will not run through Zoom using this virtual feature. Is there any way to do this? Thanks

That sounds pretty technical, I suggest trial and error. Did you get it to work?
@@TimHarrisVideo It only seems to work if I make someone else the host and they arrange it that way. I cant seem to do it without another person helping. Thank you!
How can you see the powerpoint presenter view in the virtual background?

I see the option, but its greyed out...is there a setting I have to change? HELP! :)
Yes, same for me, the option is greyed out. Did you find a solution?
Thank you, this video is very helpful for me. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Arie, appreciate your feedback. It’s comments like this that inspire me to do more
Is there a way I don´t appear twice? In the screen and in the side?
I'm not sure at this stage maybe they will change it soon
Thanks for sharing. Do you know if they allow us to use google slides as a background yet?
Not that I know of as yet
Is there a way that I could mirror my camera
Yes, in the settings on the video
I can't go to the next slide. Someone with advice how to solve this?
The controls down the bottom, you should just be able to click them. Make sure your hover the mouse in the right spot to find the arrows. Does that work for you?
@@TimHarrisVideo Controls are visible and clickable. Number changes but page not. I have latest update of zoom.
Same issue :(
@@TimHarrisVideo Same issue here can't go to next slide :(
@@joosteerland Same Issue, Please Help
This is good but how to annotate when using powerpoint as virtual background ?? either i can share and anotate or use it as virtual background. thats not good.
I think this feature can be used in certain situations but not every situation

Can you use this function with a full powerpoint slide show with animations? I cannot get this to work
Apologies, just seen that animations / sounds etc are not supported
Hopefully they roll out this feature in the future
Hi. Thank you for this video. Unfortunately, I am stuck at slide 1 despite moving the meeting control. I don’t where the problem is
I have the same issue.
@@rogersemail6871 I also??? Could you get an answer???
@@RalfHaake I’ll see what I can do
Same. I load the ppx file but can only see Slide 1. There's a slide advice button that recognizes that the file has 19 slides but when i click the button, the numbers advance but only Slide 1 is showing.
Update your zoom to version 5.4.6 it will work.
Wow ... this was very helpful
The slide controller did not work after I upgraded my Mac to OS BigSur. I wonder if you can explain why...
Have the same issue here, any solutions people? :)
Does this feature handle/display transitions and animations?
Did you get it to work?
Doesn't seem to autoplay videos embedded in PP or Keynote
I wanted to ask this question too. So far I have been unable to use utilise animations / transitions. Shame :-(
Can i edit using phone only?
Could you help me as my version of zoom 5.4; yet I can't seem to use this feature because I just can't choose it in my options.
Is it in grey? Your pc doesn't support it.
Awesome thank you
Hu Tim, can a phone be used
Did you get it to work?
Great video but unfortunately I can't go to another slide. Don't know what the problem is. Please help me.
I have the same problem. Did you get an answer???
Still< I have a same problem in my iMac
Great vid, but my face and virtual background are all sparkly and white. This feature is unusable for me. Maybe if I had a green screen.
You may have it set on "I have a green screen". Make sure that is disabled
Bad humour as usual! Great video Tim.
Thanks!
Very helpful.
Wry nice.
Thanks a lot
Did you actually try to see the recording of that? It's terrible, it shows you on the top of the screen
Lorenzo Lotti that’s the idea, to be on top of the screen. It works well in some situations, but not all situations. Choose it appropriately 👍🏻
@@TimHarrisVideo it's terrible they should keep it as for the live session! At that point, better using PPT Slideshow option :)
Well, they’re always improving things :) maybe we’ll see something soon
Hi Gerard Butler!
I get that from time to time haha 😂
I use this in every lesson but it makes me look bald.
Did you get it to work?
@@TimHarrisVideo Yes. I've been using it for over 6 months, but it till makes me look bald.
if you don't want to use virtual background
