Before you get into the meeting, cover your webcam lense or turn off your webcam.
A lense cover works well (you may have one built in to your device or webcam). Painter’s tape also works well. Please don’t use anything that will leave residue behind or that is super sticky.

Once you’re in the room, click on the ^ next to the webcam icon and then click on Choose Virtual Background.
Check I have a green screen (you probably don’t have one, but this will trick your computer into using the background)
Click the + icon next to where it says Choose Virtual Background. A box will pop up allowing you to upload a photo from your computer. Click on the one you want, and it will appear alongside the other pictures as an option for you to choose from.
