This tool has been created to enable students to generate an approved virtual background to use in classroom Zoom sessions. Your name is intended to be highly visible even when other participants are using a grid like view of the classroom. When using this background please situate yourself in such a way to minimize overlap with the name, which will always stay in a minimal one-third area of the top corner of your screen.
Note: It does not matter if you use the "Mirror" option within Zoom. The text will always display correctly to other participants.
After you are happy with your new virtual background use the "Save" button to save it to your local machine. Set it as your virtual background in your Zoom settings.
