Blur Your Background in Zoom’s Desktop App
In Zoom’s desktop app, you can blur the background before a meeting and during a meeting. Here’s how to do both.
Before Joining a Meeting
To ensure your Zoom background is blurred before your next meeting starts, launch the Zoom app on your computer.
In Zoom’s top-right corner, select your initials or profile picture and choose “Settings.”
In “Settings,” from the left sidebar, select “Background & Effects.”
On the right pane, in the “Virtual Backgrounds” tab, select “Blur.” In the video preview, you’ll immediately notice that your background is blurred.
During a Meeting
If you’d like to blur your background while you’re already in a meeting, from the meeting screen’s bottom bar, select the up-arrow icon next to “Stop Video.”

To do that, from your meeting screen’s bottom-right corner, choose “More.”
You’re done. Now you can enjoy a bit more privacy during your Zoom meetings.
